Well the grove did not disappoint again. Tim AKA I'll digger sent me a PM and wanted to know what my schedual was this week. I figured he was itching to get back to the my honey hole since he found a seated and an old Indian there last week. So without disapointment I told him I was hunting the grove on Wednesday and that he was more than welcome ( I think I made his night). We met up about 9 am and we were off, it was a slow start but after lunch things stated to pick-up. My take was 5 wheats, a 20-D Merc, a 03-0 Barber dime and a 05 V nickel. Four of the wheats were teens an two of them were needed for my wheat book. All but three of the wheats came from the same hole. You will have to wait for Tim's post to see what he found but I will say he wasn't disappointed with the grove.
