Apple does not fall far from the tree

Back in the day - late 60's & early 70's, my Mom would have me in toe, while She was digg'n dirt. She is gone, but the passion remains ....

Shown is the Whites Coinmaster She up dated to, in the 70's,

I to lost my Mom to cancer in February. You can continue the passion for her. Every time you are drawn to a certain spot you will know it's her showing you the way. Nice thread. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome post and pictures, keep your apple right where it is, in your moms shadow. Your post caused me to think back to my first MDing experience with my grandpa in the early 70's. Digging bullets out of rotten trees laying in the woods at Camp Ellis WW2 training camp. He's long gone but I remember him best doing what he enjoyed so much. Thanks for the reminiscence.

You're so lucky to have those pics. Your Mom was the BOMB. And holy wrecking-ball, what a shell! She was a lady far ahead of her time!
