Today I wasn't going to go. It happened to be my Dad's 100th birthday. Lost him just a couple years ago.
But, sitting around, moping, remembering was getting to me. I didn't feel like working so I decided to just go for a walk around a couple playgrounds.
First one got absolutely nothing! Moved on.
You need to know something to understand the "funny" story. You see I have a "quota" I try to fill every time out. I set it really low. Two bucks.
I got to the next playground and I was just thinking, "At this rate I won't be getting my quota today!".
Very shortly after I got this weird signal. (I was being persnickety about what I would dig today)
So...I dug anyway:
I said, "Thank you, Dad."
Not too terrible a day afterall:
Fishy's happy:
But....the following is going on display in my house. I thought, big deal! Just another corroded penny I couldn't read in the field.
When I got home and cleaned a bit I found out just how special this coin is to me. Especially today and why I was out there.
Anyone see why this is now my favorite coin of all time? Remember, I was just playing around in wood chips and got this a couple inches deeper.
Might not qualify as "banner" on here, but it sure is in my house!
Thanks for peeking folks and sharing a *very* special moment for me.
