Today's finds killed my Lesche...

But thankfully my new one arrived! Thanks Rick(NovaScotia) for getting it to me.

I planned to use my old one until it snapped, but the cracks in it make it too flexible to dig a deep target. The "street fair" token/medal was in the alley behind an old house across the street, ground was hard as a rock, and it was 8 inches deep. I started the hole with the old digger...had to finish with the new one. Unfortunately I scratched it, oh well.

Anybody ever seen this before? The design tells me 1900-1930ish.

Also got a crusty silver dime, broken silver/agate ring, an older Canadian penny, and a roman helmet thing.

My cat Willow usually accompanies me when I dig close to home haha...
I see storm clouds rolling in...thank god, I need this ground to soften up!

You got a start on the next 250. And a ring to boot.
Yeah the helmet is cool.
I'm really hoping for a major dig this weekend, it's been too long.

I was like those guys on "Diggers", running around and doing fist pumps, yelling "I got fur! Fur in the hole!!!"

Hey J.Cache, If the "Rifleman" could make it with a broken sword, we all sure can make it with a broken Lesche! Great finds by the way, my favorite is the Roman helmet! Sub 8-)

I have an old gator knife from kllyco and it is the same mine snapped and a friend welded it back together. I bought one of the lesche knife but I prefer the serrated edges on both sides used it one time, don't care for it and put it back in the box . Kllyco said they would replace the gator for free but I just could not part with it. So its holding up okay and as long as it can be welded again I will keep on using it.vanzutphen

She sometimes gets in my way, looking for a head scratch while I'm down digging. A couple weeks ago I accidentally bonked her right in the face with the butt end of my digger, but she forgave me quick haha.

I would post pics of the " aggressive rubbing " but this is a family friendly site:laughing7:
Some days, I have to tell him to change his digging clothes though. He scares away permissions I think.

That can be a little unnerving, but if they're friendly, just roll around in the dirt with them and enjoy it haha!
