So there was a break in the cold today so i took advantage and decided to go hit the old dump in mid town. I drove by the other day and noticed they had bulldozed the ground to remove some weeds and grass. Well! We all know what happens when they decide to do that, what was once to deep to get to is now near the top. The day started out a bit slow, i hit a lot on the other of the treatment plant before going to the dump. I got to the dump and just hit a good signal when an older gentleman stop to talk to me. Seeing the logo of my club on the back of my jeep, he told he was part of the club years ago. Then ask if i had found any thing good yet, just as i was digging this signal. Well this is my best piece of the day, i Don't know why but i love it. It seems to be made out of lead. When he saw it come out of the ground he was impressed himself. lol
