Re: IL Forum April 1st "Field of Fools" Hunt....
Been thinking lately about the lack of seated coins despite having dug the bust dime this year and the real last year. I think my coil is set to repel war nickels, solid gold jewelry, and seated coins.![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
I just don't know how to break the spell. Then it came to me 
I need to challenge fate!
I'm bringing my clippers. If I dig a legit seated coin on Saturday, I'll let 'Batts give me a haircut Saturday night! Go easy on me Tim!

"I'll let 'Batts give me a haircut Saturday night! Go easy on me Tim!"
That would be horrific since I am legendary in my uselessness as a craftsman of any sort.
I mean I can't even cut a fart straight so unless you want to look like a poorly skinned rabbit, keep the clippers. Ain't never been no good at nuthin' but nuthin'.

Re: IL Forum April 1st "Field of Fools" Hunt....
I hear the skinned rabbit look is in.....
Now Tim if Neil is willing to go out on a limb here bud,as a gesture of goodwill,I believe you should accomadate his wishes....to not accept his offer would most certainly jinx him...and I for one would not be able to get a wink of sleep knowing he will be deprived of said seated
So take one for the team bud....

Re: IL Forum April 1st "Field of Fools" Hunt....
I can't believe we started planning this in early January and it is finally here. That was a torturous 4 months man. End of January I seriously made myself crazy following up on leads and scouring the web for information. If I didn't take that break I would have jumped out the window. Made winter suck even more than usual knowing this was coming in April. Thanks again Scott for all the effort you have put into this.
Anyways - I am sane again and so happy it is 4 days away!

Re: IL Forum April 1st "Field of Fools" Hunt....
True story: So I took my 88 year old mother to the oncologist today. He hasn't seen me in a while so he was visibly taken aback by the beard and hair. Mom piped right up to the doc with "He was such a good looking guy before that happened."
Now I have a pretty good grasp on reality when it comes to certain things, so I'm not inclined to agree with her about how good I used to look, but c'mon, Mom! Give a guy a break, will ya?!!!
Are we there yet?

Re: IL Forum April 1st "Field of Fools" Hunt....
Jason buddy you deserve just as much credit as I,Tim and Mark deserve a fair share of credit as well,without you 3 helping this hunt would not have grown into what it is...as far as the craziness I think we all went a bit bugeyed,but I think we all learned something along the way,should this hunt go well I am sure there will be more,and having the first under the belt will make future research and organizing much easier.....Now that the hard part is done.....lets go find some treasure
