This morning early i was at the coffee shop where i meet a old buddy John he,s the one who has all those potato fields he was telling me in a 2 weeks he will be plowing up all the fields the taters are ready
and i can do more MD ,we got to talking about some heavy work he needs done putting drag chains behind the tractor and could i help him for a few hours hes 83 but tough as nails a old weather beaten 4 generation farmer all working the same fields for a few hundred years its 92 * now and the humility is awful
there was noway i could say no so i helped him man oh man in 15 minutes the both of us was a pool of sweat !!! those drag chains are heavy !!! anyway after we were done he said wait here and he went into one of the big barns and came out with a broken dirty old cigar box and said here its yours he don't remember where or when he got it its been in the barn for ever he said on a wooden work bench under all kinds of crap
when i opened it i almost feel over old coins and Indian stone points ,then he said he thinks some feel out and are on the dirt floor still
i was so tired and hot i said when it cools off ill come back and look .Hey you dont know how happy i was to get these i took some photos and made a list Enjoy HH
