Today was a busy day for me. I had so many errands to run!
And the weather was sooooo nice! Finally, I got a couple hours
free and just had to get my "fix".
I went to the soybean field as it was closest. Figuring that a couple
relics would beat no walk at all.
For the short time I could walk, it proved to be both fun and interesting.
For example, I happened upon a golf ball, (in the middle of a soybean field!?!) LOL
Anyway, When I saw it, I playfully waved the detector coil
over it saying, "I wonder if they ever made 'em with a gold core." LOL
AND....to my astonishment, it beeped!! Whaaaaaa!?!
Well, it turned out that the golf ball just happened to be sitting directly
over a target. LOL
An old piece of lead. But, it sure gave me a laugh!
I said, Good one Lord!
And almost as if to answer me, I found this:
He looks a little better cleaned up but the poor thing
has had a REALLY rough life!
Here's the rest:
Another couple surprises:
Can only make out "WAR...." on the back of the shiny one.
To each....their own.
He's had a VERY tough life and ultimately just thrown away. Until I came along
and lifted him back into the light of day. He'll have a special place in my display.
Warm, and comfortable.
Finding ANY old coin is always a thrill for me. But, to find this one,
here, and it being such a fine example of olden times. I mean, a 2 cent piece
is odd enough. But, holed with a square nail, and coming out when it did,
in this fine old field. Well, it just made my day!
Thanks for peeking folks!
