Went to Shiloh hill college today,, pretty old college ,,1840's ,,,,its where John A. Logan went to school.

Then went across the river to get to Kaskaskia island il. what a trip that was.

But it was worth it,, did not find much but got to see some historic areas anyway.

Here is some pic's and some stuff we dug,, we will be back for sure!!!

Wait for it to cool down a little and rain,,,,, to hard to dig really. :icon_scratch:

Had a great time and seen some killer places to put on the list!!!

My brother got his first silver on the island today!!!!! :headbang: a merc ,, pretty ruff but hey its one he will remember for sure!!!!

thanks for lookin
