Default Great Find With A Great Story

Here is a gerat find, and a great story, with a happy ending. One of our members of "417 Relic Hunters" of Springfield, Mo. had an unusual story to tell that made his local paper. A fine tribute to our hobby.

Lost but found - Carthage, MO - Carthage Press

I liked this. Since I haven't got out in a while at least I could read a good hunt. JC
