If there's one shell, there's gotta be more. Hunt it hard and keep it secret since you've done the research and effort. Again, very nice shell.

My uncle and I went back to the impact area today and he found this 20lb Schenkl. The Schenkl was about 100 yards from the parrot in the same line of fire. He was rather excited and I was envious! uke: I have been looking for that Schenkl for 10years and he just walked out there and in 10 minutes found it. Oh well, I was still happy for him. The area is a large track of farm land with ravines so hopefully we will find more. As much as I would like to invite everyone to this spot I am sworn to secrecy.

Best Regards,
