Almost a moth to the day of finding my 1887 IH and the war nickel I was out yesterday and hit this 1888 IH.

Sure Larry.  A friend of mine in a nearby town was preparing to build a garge on his property and had scraped off the top 4 to 8" of soil to prepare the area where the foundation was going to go for his garage.  Another friend had pointed out to him that I would probably be interested in "putting the coil to the soil" where he had scraped off the soil and where he had put the pile of dirt at that he had scraped off.  When he called to let me know I told him that it would be a couple of days but that it was worth checking out.  A few days later Bucksguy81 and myself headed that way to check it out for a bit.  We didn't find much around where he scraped the soil off.  I think I had came up with two dimes and a old pocket knife around the area where the foundation will be placed and then headed over to check out the pile of soil that had been scraped off.  I had only found a couple of crushed pop cans in the pile and we were fixing to leave when I hit one more target and thought "I'll dig this last one then we can get going for other places."About 4" into the pile I came up with the IH.
