Houston To Amarillo Road Trip 6/20 thru 6/25/09

I'M BACK, and we all had a blast. Went to step-dads old stompin' grounds - sight seeing mostly. We traveled a total of 1,658 Miles. We did do a little detecting, but after our first find we decided to be very careful in our selection of areas. Hope You enjoy the Pictures and can someone ID the bullets for me. Each of the (3) Bullets are approx. 5/8" long and 7/16" wide. They were apparently fired into the ground in close proximity of each other. I found a total of $2.08 just by lookin' down. (1) 2 Dollar Bill (1) Nickel and (3) Pennies. No Metal Detector Required, Go Figure!!!!
Thanks, Big1011Guy

Dig the junk, and find the good on top. I believe we all have had them times.

Big Guy, we recently killed a large snake here in Highlands. Never know what you will find deep in the heart of Texas.................. We need to get out and do a rain dance. I haven't hunted in weeks, the ground is tooooo hard. Jim

I learned about Looking at the Ground from my Mom, because she insisted on it , because I am not what you would call Graceful. She got tired of me Tripping over things (mostly my feet) when I was young and told me to Watch Where I Was Goin". Who Knew there would be a Bonus of finding Money while Watching Where I Am Goin'.
