OK so I think it was a success! Wow, what a great time. I'll let everyone post their individual finds, but I thought I'd start a post for that with some group pics and a few of the finds. A big congrats to Brentallica for the best find and winner of the trophy with his 1818 Large Cent!!! It was great to meet all of you and hope we can do it again some time. enjoy the pics. Griff

Wow, great pics Josh! A heartfelt thanks to you and Craig (and Tara!) for setting it all up. Kelly and I had a great time and it was fun to meet some fellow TNetters and now have a face to go with the names. WTG Brent on the LC! We want to hear the play by play. And those burgers, Josh..... (Kelly and I actually split one. LOL) Thanks guys and HH to you all.

p.s. I did get a really cool fossil from Dick at the first house and Kelly loves her flint and old canning jar.

well here's my haul of stuff that didn't make it into the trash bucket in the back of the van. I ended up with 2 Barber quarters an 1898, 1915 and a 1895 IH. The 1898 Barber was only 2 inches at the base of a tree, couldn't believe it! I did a lot of digging, lots of gun brass, clad, several harmonica reeds (including one that I donated to a geocache that I stumbled upon in the woods ) A wagon full of lantern parts, a ring, a pretty nice spoon that has the original family initial on it, and a sweet crotal bell that rings very nice. Great time! HH, Griff

we had about 10 each day, and because of the size of the some of the sites we split into 2 groups of 5. worked out pretty well I think.

 

[Brentallica]

Big Congrats on the Barbers and Indians bro!! The bell, spoon and other relics were sweet as well. Awesome pictures too!!
Thank you to you and Craig for putting this whole thing together. From securing permission to the food and driving. I believe everyone had a blast.
Was great to meet everyone as well.
