Vibes, it was really nice meeting you and all of the Indiana Tnetters that were able to make it. I really enjoyed it and hope we can do it again when they get that place cleared out a little. I gotta figure out how to clean those bottles. If someone has an idea I am all ears. TMAN...

Vibes, just wait. I'm the type that needs to be around someone for awhile before i chat alot, and if that happens then you guys will probably be hiding from me saying " there's that guy that won't shut up" :laughing7:

Photo's of those rare tokens I found

First off, I would like to say, Vibes thank you for organizing this group hunt and I have to say, I did have a great time and met some new faces that I can put with the screen names here on Tnet.

Tman and rc2125, it was great to meet you both.

rc2125 really floored me at the leper location, within the first 10 minutes he was asking me what the coin he was holding was called. I had to flip it over to see the obverse side and was totally shocked. (see his post in the Indiana Finds Section) That little park does have some potential and for once, I didn't see any Goose droppings that I had to avoid. :laughing7:

I think Smasher is one of those quiet types and will definitely open up once he gets to know who everyone is. I know, met him later last year and we visited for a couple of hours at the least.

Man, it sure was a hot one out there in that sun wasn't it? I can't imagine digging those deep pits in that heat and humidity.

Jgas, it was great to meet you as well even though you weren't officially on the hunt per say and hope you can join us on one of the next ones. Keep safe out there on the streets as I know you will.

Now, onto the scans of the rare Pre-Chuckee Cheese tokens. Since we were hunting near the old saloon sites, I certainly thought that I had a good for token, that is, until I flipped it over and seen the logo on it. I scanned the hole again and actually got 2 more hits out of it, so technically it is a cache or a pocket spill if you wish to call it that. I am going with cache :laughing7:

Again, thanks for the hunt.

DJH

In case I didn't and I didn't, I thank you to vibes for a great hunt, I was suprised of the turn out,what was it about 10 or 11 of us showed up. DJH thanks for the water, I saved the bottle and when i got home i went to the bathroom and filled it up again,I'll give it back to you so that i don't owe you that dollar ;D (just playin). This was a weekend of bad timing, RC finds that dime about 10' from where i was at. and RC offers me to sell his f-70 2 days after i sent the money for mine.(story of my life!) HH Don

Glad to se you recycling, but keep the bottle for those roadside emergencies that can occur. As for the F-70, that's usually the way it goes. A day late and a dollar short is my life story.

I wish I would've saved all the rusty nails I dug at the Temple lot. I had to stand back for a moment and READ that sentence as it;'s something I thought I'd never say in my life...but...I found a way to utilize my old rusty iron pieces w/o having to learn how to weld and it involves rusty nails.

If ya think about it, save the old, rusty ones for me...please:)

The idea of how to utilize the old rusty iron didn't hit me until the other night otherwise I would've kept the ones I found and yours too:)
