HEY GUYS AND GALS
Out this moring break of daylight..... -10c when we crawled outta the truck.....BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Half the beach had a thin layer of ice on it ...looked cold and was cold.
After 1 hour I had dug 2 targets...piece of junk and a musket ball. Ed wasn,t fairing any better.
Another hour passed and still nothing so we moved down the beach further and ED picked up a big copper...still squat for me except 4 or 5 musket balls and a new peny.
I turned and went back...Ed kept on going....I managed to finally hit a big copper but poor shape...at least no skunk.
Into the 4th hr and I was ready to call it quits..tide was gettin up quite high and my arm was getting tired....as it does when not finding much....funny how that works.
Yeah .,,yeah...I know here comes another on the way back to the truck story....but it is a true story mister !!!
Thought I would try a litle sandy cove....pulled out 3 musket balls and big chunks of iron...then a nice clean short zip...always a good sign !!
Dig ...dig...out pops a mud encrusted button...I could see the back of it but not the front...most pewters look the same on the back so knew I had a old one...rinsed it off in the water and was grinning from ear to ear...IT WAS A BUTTON JUST FOR ME !!! ANCHOR !!
Made my day ...only takes the one good find to make it all worth while....and I was ready for home !!
