I'm jonesing for silver. Got no time to dig holes....... But when I do, I'm gonna dig a 30 foot hole. Hey, I saw a post on a guy that dug a trench at the beach two feet deep by four feet, found three Indians. Anyone ever try that? We hit some super old beaches in the city. I know **** is down there. Thoughts?

Me, the Grease, and Hambone hit a couple yards in Sandstone yesterday. No silvers, but a few deep quarters that got the blood pumping. Greaser won the coin tally, I won the old find with a 1950 wheat, (one of nine pennies in a spill), and Hamshank prooved his ability to snipe cool tootsie toy hot rods.

It was a good time. Silvers would have been nice but it was still great to get out.

The water calls to me as well. I'm guessing Grindstone is a little too chilly right now though...

I almost forgot.... We have permission to hunt Camp Miller.... Prior to becoming a youth camp in 1913 it was a logging camp in the late 1800s. Does that sound tempting?

New experiences are always interesting.... especially when someone is off their meds. One of the yards I had permission to hunt in Finn town was going well. Talked to the owner, It turns out I knew his dad and he knew mine quite well, he was out in the yard working on an old tractor. He told me to have fun. I got about 1/4 of the yard done.... some clad, junk and a 1920 wheat. When over the headphones I here a ladys voice. I looked up and it was the owners wife in the window. She was asking what I was doing. I told her I was metal detecting looking for relics and old coins. She asked why I was in her yard. I explained I talked with her husband and he told me to go ahead. That didn't seem to be good enough and she gave me the boot. I apologized and left. As I was leaving I told her husband and her brother-in-law (who just recently arrived) that she kicked me out of the yard. The brother-in-law said, "Yeah, she gets that way. I think she hasn't been taking her medication." So I went over to the brother-in-laws yard across the street and swung the stick there for a while. Found a little more clad and a mowed wheatie.

Moral of the story.... sometimes even permission isn't enough.... OR.... always have a Pink Floyd CD and the bottom of a bag of weed to give away to menopausal ladies.

Had about 10 extra minutes in Moose Lake to try my homegrown beach scoop. It works but there's a heck of a lot of room for improvement. On the way out of town I saw on old hippie lookin guy swingin a coil with his two elderly groupies in tow. Looks like Toad isn't the only one door knocking up there.

That was Jeff Lower.... Not to old.... I talked to him yesterday at the gun show. He's had a metal detector for a while just doesn't use it much, unlike freaks like me who need to go every day.

UPDATE: I went out for a couple hours with Dirty Dave Matten. We scanned a couple yards. Clad and a couple wheats in the first yard. Across he street was a place I've been wanting to check for a while. After 45 minutes of wading through the dog turds I went to a small patch of grass where the dog doesn't go.... DING! Popped out silvers #19 & #20. 1946 & 1957 rosies. :)
