Too many first's to list...but I'll try.
What a great weekend with a couple of friends. For probably 3 years I have heard about this great spot that Schloopy (John) and Ridgerunner (Scott) have hunted off and on, so at this years CTH I got a little more serious about getting them to let me join them one time and boy did that cost me a lot of beers.....lol. Finally this weekend (one of the coldest on record, I think) we all meet and hunted hard. We started at about 9:30 pm friday night and hunted until about 2 or 2:30 in the am. (My first night hunt). Got back up at 5:30 Saturday morning and hunted until approximately 4:30 Saturday evening. Finally I was able to talk them into a decent night sleep and we again hunted Sunday morning. There was several coins taken and several items. I will let Scott and John post there finds. I was able to get away with the following items.
1. 1905 O barber dime (first)
2. 1908 Indian
3. 1902 Indian
4. looks like laying pennies on the railroad track was fun back then too as I found a Indian head penny which was squished by a train I believe. There are some tracks close. (first)
5. Eagle button (first)
6. And saving the best for last.....I found a gold initial ring which looks like it from the same era.
Other than these items there was a ton of scrap taken in and a ton of good times with a couple of friends had.

Oh, crap! That's me. Guess I need to get on the horn with Jenny. Anywho, Greg you are always a hoot to hunt with! You are one lucky dude. Two precious metals in under an hour. Who'd a thought it! It was fun buddy and I look forward to doing it again. Although I gather I won't be hunting with you again until the ground sweats. LOL!
You guys sure have a good time MDing no matter where y'all are at. Just looking at your avatar and laughing...that's you, Scott, & John in the frozen tundra.

We figure it was the many trips carrying all the scrap to the truck and not the heater that warmed you up. LOL
LOVE that gold ring, Greg!!!!! Wow, did you have a great weekend! 
You MO guys sure know how to dig up those goodies! 8)
