My father and I enjoyed meeting everyone and look forward to seeing everyone again! Thank you as well for the great meal. We do not feel we should have any problem fitting in as everyone was very friendly and made us feel welcomed! See you all soon.

Sure wish I could have been there. The displays look great. Funny thing...........Look at all those blue rags!!!! HH, Nancy

 

[dave5710]

I see Red, White, and Blue, Nancy. 3 of my favorite colors. Very impressive job everyone. So what was the record total? What is the game plan? My hunting buddy should be back from his all expenses paid 3 week European vacation shortly, I hope he feels like doing a little diggin'. I have alot going on today, but plan on getting after it tomorrow.

 

[Larry (IL)]

Steve has the numbers but I think it was close to 22 silver coins and 16 coins pre 1900.

 

[millejn3]

Charge your batteries Dave! My flight arrives into Peoria at 6pm tomorrow night and I'm ready to roll !!!!!!

 

[LandOLincoln]

Just in time for the 3-5 inches of rain we will be getting this weekend haha.

 

[millejn3]

GREAT!!

Thanks for letting us join your club. I liked seeing all the cool items that were found this month.. It is amazing what you can find in the ground. That's why I love this hobby. Hope to see everyone at the club hunt.

 

[dave5710]

I bet this storm peters out before it gets to us. We may get another inch or so, if we are lucky. Looks like I'll have to get the mower out sometime soon. People with shaded lawns are already mowing everywhere. I can't believe how fast the grass has greened up.

 

[LandOLincoln]

I forgot to put my 1909 barber and 1942 merc in my pile last night. You can add those to the numbers too if you want.

 

[Nancy-IL]

There's always got to be a bragger in the bunch. Just kidding Andrew. I'm very proud of all the finds you've found. Good going and HH, Nancy

 

[dave5710]

When you have as much silver as Andrew does, you have to split it up for safer keeping.

 

[Steve1825]

I counted 16 coins dated from 1774 to 1895. Also we had 29 silver coins counted up. A very hard record to beat but we shall try.

 

[Nancy-IL]

I found a 35 Merc this month. Does that go in to the count? HH, Nancy

 

[LandOLincoln]

It should since you were on nurse duty.

 

[dave5710]

I think the only record here is the pre 1900 coin total. Back when I went to meetings regularly, I remember seeing all the displays, and I would count silvers as sort of a tie breaker when judging which one the big displays I would vote for. I would see Steve, Steve, Larry and Nancy's displays, with 8 or 10 or 12 or 15 silvers, and think to myself, how to they do that, all the time. And many of the rest of us would have 2, 3 or 4 or more. So I don't think the 29 Steve counted, and 3 more from Andrew and Nancy for a total of 32, would be an actual record, but if you want to make it a point to shoot for, that is fine with me. I would think that 50 would be a closer mark and with these new members and this crop of young guns, we could put 50 behind us in short order.

Just my opinion, for what its worth.

 

[Nancy-IL]

I like your opinion Dave.
