Between metal detecting and garage sales, I've had anything but a
"Mickey Mouse" weekend.... ;D ....Just by keeping your EYES and EARS open.

On Friday, I found coins and jewelry at two different garage sales.
For the gold jewelry, silver coins, and one 1939-s penny,
cost was $43.50....


Normally, in late January it should be cold, icy, or snowing, and I should not be outside mowing. I spent Saturday afternoon mowing the front and back yards.

Earlier, at a Saturday morning garage sale, I found $6 worth of Sterling jewelry of three earrings, a ring, and a solid band necklace.. While there, I happen to hear about two 1950's era homes bought by a local Chevrolet dealership, then were dozed and hauled away just a few days before.

With this odd warm weather, I took advantage and went to both house lots to Medal Detect Sunday afternoon.
In this mild "long sleeve" shirt weather, I found a narrow "Sterling" stamped bangle bracelet, then, "THE TEN COMMANDMENTS", in costume jewelry.

Except for Mowing my "green" North Texas lawn in the middle of Winter, finding Costume jewelry, 2.5 grams of 14kt. Gold, Silver coins, and 53 grams of Sterling/.925 jewelry, it was a weekend to do my two favorite things.
