Old Yard Yields Again

[Lime Crush]

Good evening,

The vacant lot that I spoke about earlier last week produced this worn 1918 Merc. and a nice 1945 Merc.? These two were found within minutes of each other and gave little fight.? The 1900 IH in good condition (for my area) however was quite determined to remain undiscovered until the last moment.

I had purposely been avoiding the thorn bushes knowing that as soon as I searched near them I would get a good signal.......sometimes I hate being right? :P.? ?I hit a good signal only a couple passes into them.....sighed....and spent the next solid 10 minutes chopping (gently) through a maze of roots before finally arriving at what I was fully prepared to be yet another piece of melted metal.

Alas, it was indeed a nice surpise and welcomed reward.? Blood, sweat and tears of joy....ahh the life of a (part-time) coin-shooter.?

The absolute Best of Luck everyone,

Jeff

P.S. Thank goodness for Neosporin.
