Howdy Folks. I went out last night with the intention of raking my construction sight a bit to score maybe another oldie but, all I got was clad. Mr. Toad said beat it chump!:wave: So today I headed to a park in a tiny town down the road. This place is trash filled with pull tabs literally popping up through the soil everywhere. I found the kiddos Pirate Eye-patch. I'll be sporting that baby while out tecting you bet. I scanned a swing set and got a decent signal and popped up the .925 heart pendant. WOW! Real jewelry! I concentrated on the largest oldest trees and just swung around their base. Trash was literally "oozing" up through the ground. Found a broken fork or spoon handle just sticking right out along with the stainless one as well. That old "Hey Bros." spoon was from last night. They were a local ice cream dairy based in Dixon, Illinois back in the day. I found the junk lead looking pin or whatever it is and it rang at 18 VDI. I nearly left it behind thinking it was more can slaw. It was a nice cool sunny day and I did have another visitor. Must be Mr. Grey Squirrel. He looked darn near black and like the cross between a squirrel and a RAT! Thanks for stopping by. Kurios1

That might be some type of rat squirrel lol. Nice heart pendant

I am used to seeing the rusty colored ones and even some greys on occasion but, I never saw one this dark before. He was kinda' "cute" looking from a distance. :o

This spot was my secondary option. It appears a previous permission the old folks have passed away. It's been a few years since I was down that way. I'll have to get hold of the son and see if it's alright with them if I can still hunt there. Perhaps I can find some sentimental recoveries for the family if they let me hunt it. They were a lovely old couple both over 95 and childhood sweethearts. That don't happen much anymore.:sad7:

Congrats on your finds Kurious. We actually have Black Squirrels where we live. It started off to be some sort of hybrid between the Red and Grey Squirrels. They just dont seem to have as big of ears as the one in your picture.

Congrats on the bling! Are you sure that is a squirrel? We must not have that type around here, it looks just like a fat rat to me.

When I first spotted it I was puzzled as to what it was. It was kinda' bobbing around weird like. I imagine it is a "hybrid" cross off a few different types of squirrels. Either that or something that escaped from the DUMB in Dulce, New Mexico!:o:o:o
