I guess it can't really be done. It's been raining cats and dogs. I had to go out fairly early. Made my first stop, now there are places around here that had 2" of ice built up from the storms this week. I was walking by one of the almost melted slabs of ice, the grass is peeking through. I look down, look down again. And pick up a gold colored ring. Huh? Well, it's marked 14k.
I made it to the first store, bought a couple things and left. An hour later, went to the grocery to pick up some stuff. I was in this one aisle, no one else in it, and there lay a $10 bill. I picked it up. Good grief! Thank you God!
At the register, after I pay the guy I notice two halves in the drawer. They are two 40% ers. Can it get any weirder?
So I decided to drop by my one permission. I have the good shoes on. I wanted to check the field out for erosion, ice depth, etc. I just walk over to the side and there is a button lying on the top of a little mound of dirt. Button? Well, it's a Confederate school button, I have to look to see which one. I think I already have one of these, but will look in a bit.
So by now my head is spinning.
I finally get home and decide to try a spot in the woods I'd found some horseshoes in and some nails and a couple tombac buttons. Found another horseshoe, a tombac button, a silver thimble in great shape and a colonial shoe buckle.
Who could have ever thought? As long as a meteor doesn't land in the lawn, I'll be ok. I just got done, so will post the pics soon. Good grief. Soon has arrived, tombac still in the car and I'm not going back out but here you go.
