Anybody else noodling tonight :-) Nice finds everybody! Just so you guys know, if I'm not mistaken, noodling is what those in the Southern US call fishing for catfish, by reaching in to a hole barehanded, waiting for the fish to bite their hand, and wrestling the fish out of the water.  Just FYI   |

And what do they call it where they catch trout or salmon the same way? I do seem to recollect "tickling". I don't think there is any truth in the rumor that it started in Scotland to avoid the cost of the fishing gear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVgTCkY4-j0 Yes; Googled trout tickling and came up trumps.

I went though a couple of ounces of post 46 sixpence I got in a roll last week and after reading Mc Donanlds 2012 today and found 2 x 1952's. they are worth a bomb ($350 in aUNC) for post 46, if your interested. Then looked on ebay and found a 1952 error 6d with no mention of error in the title. for $5...woo hoo.. sfw~~60_12.jpg) |

larena, My guess is that it's a 2007 50c as I have heaps of them. Not struck twice, but caused by a damaged die that should have been retired a long time before it was. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved
