My first 'cache' - well, sort of!
My boss had an old building torn down and I got her permission to hunt it. I knew it had been a car lot at one time and an old home sat on the land before that. I headed over after work this evening and after hunting for about an hour, I was a tad discouraged that I had only managed to find three fairly new pennies and a key to a long-gone Lincoln. I was almost ready to pack up and head home when my detector alerted me to a hidden penny. I figured I might as well add to my ever-growning collection of dirty pennies, so I dug down about 2 inches and found a rabies tag. My first thought, of course, was of the poor animal that lost it - or of the bones that wouldn't be much further down. My detector told me I wasn't finished there - and boy, was she right! In the next 20 minutes, I pulled seventy - yep, 70 more rabbies vaccination tags from the area! They appear to be from the same clinic - all from 1987 - sequentially numbered, too. How very strange! In any case, I think this may qualify as my 'first cache'! Any thoughts on this mysterious hoard would be welcome..

I'd rather dig those than all the corroded zinc pennies I get at the beach!
