I just got through saying on another thread that IL is a lousy place to hunt. Well, your corner of IL is the exception. You give me hope!

Well done on knocking a few off the bucket list.
There should be the rest of the silver hiding close by.

Excellent finds! I've been waiting 30+ years to find a trime- think I'd be heartbroken if I found a piece of one.
