Mostly watching my pals get a few super coins knocked off the list and build their piles of finds up!
Gonna get back to one of these sites tomorrow weather permitting. Firstly though it was great to see sunrise yesterday, a sandhill crane landed 50-60 yards from me in the open field and started picking at the crawdads popping out of the mud. He was not shy but he did meander off across the field as Skates and Watercolor came into view. Not much going there but I did get a great flat button, can't make out the backmark though. Should not have shaken it up in the water tube with the wheaties, appears to have cracked it as it is FRAGILE due to age.
Got done there and went to pick up Mrs. Lowbatts, happy birthday to her but on the way had a moment to check on some areas and VOILA! Park work, new bike/hiking trail cuts! Well it was wifey's b'day but priorities get skewed once in a while... for others.
Picked up Mayo and hit that place! Got another wheatie and big zincoln signal freed up a tag from one of the locally historically significant oil companies out of Rockford. No idea on how the tag was employed but the font is interesting. Has some embedded cross hatching, almost chevron design.
Gonna be a busy week weather permitting.
