Last night, after dinner, and I got done mowing the lawn while the boys and the missus went to an outdoor movie event in town, I had a window of about an hour of daylight.
So I picked up my trusty Silver Sabre II and went out the patch of lawn where I found the merc. After 2 strikes of junk, one partially dissolved lincoln, and a spent .22 casing, I almost was packing it in on account of the black flies. I got a nice little 'beep." and said what the heck one more! I even shut the machine off to stave off further temptation.
I pulled out a crusty black Buffalo! #2 for me! The reverse with the bison looks pretty good but the front is pretty rough. It took a lot of work just to get it so I could see the indian and of course there's no date to discern. But.. not a zincoln! We'll take it.
