Or, more to the point, broken field "walking". I found out,
very, very quickly, that my broken field "running" days are
long gone!
What I mean is that there's a field I drive by from time to time
and it is ALWAYS overgrown, even in the winter! It is never mowed
so the weeds/grass are very, very long! So much so that it looks like
a large green carpet of matted grass. Even lying on it's side, the grass
is 3 to 5 inches thick!
I've always told myself that there just *HAS* to be stuff in that field!
And, if they EVER mow it, I'll be right there! Oh, every winter, when the
vegetation is at a minimum, I try to hit it. But, let me tell you! Trying to
walk and dig in this field is worse than any cornfield I ever stumbled on!
It's very hilly, uneven, and that grass keeps lassoing the feet!
Today I finally got one of those goodies I knew just had to be there. Not
really all that much but a first for me!
Believe it or not, this was the very first dig of the day!
I got this semi "can" type hit, first thought, "Too big". But, I was fresh and
had only fallen 3 times thus far. So I hacked away at this weed stalk. When
I uncovered this:
I saw the colors and said, hey! that don't look like a can!
As I hacked further and further, more kept coming.
Finally, all was revealed and I remember saying
Awww ain't that cute? Some really pretty kiddie bling!
Gotta admit, I was a pretty happy camper!
Unfortunately, the rest of the day paled.
Did manage this brass buckle, complete
with some original leather from the belt.
.....Let the games......
.......begin!
At this point I was really pretty happy how
this *JANUARY* day turned out!
But, believe it or not, it got a little better.
When I happened to flip over this one link
of the bracelet.
The WHOLE thing is SILVER!! LOL
(sans the "stones" of course)
Even the split rings!
Now, of course, I've found silver before BUT....
Not 44 GRAMS of it at once! This is the largest
piece of silver I've ever found!
Ain't life grand?
Thanks for peeking!
