Charged the Excal2 and said although I have so many chores to do home I have to try again and go back for the sixth time..
This hunt started different with the first target a small medal then a few coins and later this beautiful recovery.After a slow start this season my friends told me to keep trying and I would be rewarded

Congratulations on your beautiful coin and making banner, billb. I have to agree that it couldn’t of happened to a nicer guy. You have such polite posts. I can tell by reading through the thread that you are on cloud nine.
