Well, im back from the boat for a few days. They decided to send me to the arctic, so they are giving me a few days off untill i leave on the 2nd or 3rd. I got home lastnight, and could'nt wait to get out to MD this morning. I went to a place where they just had this food festival over the weekend. I had a pretty good day. I found a cheap-o ankle bracelet, and $1.15 in clad, and my first wheat penny. The penny was exciting. I did'nt even relize it was a wheat penny untill I got to the car to count up my findings. So I had a good day. I may go back out tonight and MD under where they had these rides on the grass. When I was there the Carnies were just taking them down. Talk to you all later. HH. Brad

Coll finds you 're doing better every time . Glad you're back safe. I worked on a fishing boat for a while. I respect anyone who does that fro a living. Keep up the good work

Small carnival with about 6 rides has set up down the road about a two minute drive from home. I drove down first thing to look it over and was told they would be there until after the 4th. All sitting on concrete though!...Rats! Nice scouting, or prospecting as I like to call it! JIM

Im headed to Kotzebue, not quite to Prudhoe. We are delivering the people there thier gas, heating oil, and jet fule for the winter. The summer is the only time they can get any since it is iced in up there most of the time. This time of year it is rather nice up there. I was there last summer. It is daylight 24 hours a day, which makes it kind of a nice working environment. Only there s no phone service, so you get kind of out of touch up there. Thanks for the nice coments everyone.

I don't know if anyone told you but... Where you find wheats you may also find other older coins even silver!! So go back and check that area you found the wheat real hard with little or no disc.

HH!!
