Thursday hunt with Ill Digger and Ted.

[jkress]

Tim and I were finally able to put a hunt together. All though the planning was somewhat last minute, we still made it work.

Met him and his buddy at a park in search of some oldies. Not quite as many shinny ones as we would have liked, but everyone pulled out some old ones.

The Merc jumped in front of my digger :rolleyes: at the last minute. Nothing I could do to prevent the collision. lol

Seems to me the Illinois detectorists are some nice people. I'd certainly hunt with them again. :yes:

Fun day gentlemen, thanks for making the drive over. :beerbuddy:

Hey, some nice finds!! Glad you and Tim were able to get together. You are really churning out the IH's Joe. :)

Looking forward to getting together with you and Tim in October. :happydance01:

Nice tribe. :clapping: Not sure what that one is, but it looks old. Its not a zincoln, is it :poke: Too bad about the merc, but as long as its not a key date, no worries.

Very nice finds, indeed! I don't think I've ever found five Indian Heads in one day, let alone combined with a Merc and two Buffalos!

I'm always up for a road trip. Maybe someday I will get the chance to detect with some of you fine folks!

Congrats on the successful hunt!

Excellent recoveries....that is a nice bunch of keepers....sorry about the collision between the merc and your digger. It can (should) happen to anyone. Big congrats on your hunting

Hey thanks for setting up the hunt on short notice Joe!! Ted and I had a good time. We seen alot of nice old places on the way there and back that need some serious attention!! :yes: :drool: If ya know what I mean ;) :drool: :daydream: We stopped at that park we were originally going to meet at on the way home. I got another wheatie there. We only had a hour to look around.... but it could be worth another visit :dontknow:

My pleasure Tim. thumbsup01 It was a great to meet with you and Ted. Glad you both pulled some keepers for your driving effort.
Ron and I went to the other park yesterday. The original place we were going to meet. Looked like a lot of that ground has been changed since
the park was originally established. I found one small area that looked undisturbed. That's where I pulled the Merc and War nickel I recently posted.
