Thanks guys! Well Americus I started hunting artifacts in Illinois so I am no stranger to field hunting.I can see why huge collections are amassed.The only advantages I feel that I have is the scenery,no plow strikes and nobody else looking.The disadvantages are obvious.Which include the 6" plus snowfall were expecting today.....Decisions to make do I want to go out one more time before it hits or is this it till spring.....stay tuned....mjm
