A friend pm'd me a couple of days ago and gave me a big 'Congratulations' on my upcoming 10,000th post. I really haven't paid much attention to what those numbers were. But sure enough, here I am. How in the heck could anyone spend so much time here and seemingly have so much to say? Or maybe not so much to say. :P :D I looked to see when I first signed on here at Tnet and this February will be four years. My how the time has slipped away so quickly! But, you know what they say, time flies by when you're having fun. :wink:

This tree is at fault for introducing me to a whole new world, that I'd not really given a lot of thought to before.

Found it on the property that we had purchased. Why would anyone write on a tree? :icon_scratch: What does all that mean? SOOO...I got on the net and did a little research. Ended up here at TreasureNet. Read all about all your adventures for months, and I felt like I knew everyone before I even signed up. :D Ya'll remember the episode of Andy Griffith where the new guy moves into town and knows everyone by name, but no one knows who he is, and they go into a frenzy wondering how it is he knows everyone? Then turns out he had been getting the Mayberry newspaper and reading up on the people and place for months and loved it so much, he moves there. Well..that's what I can relate to. I moved in... and am still enjoying my stay here at Tnet. :) When I first moved in, I could read the 'Today's Finds' in a couple of minutes, where now it takes all afternoon. :o :D I think you're a fantastic bunch of folks, and I thank you for sharing your experiences and allowing me learn through your adventures. :icon_sunny: I love this hobby, but for seeing the GREAT stuff you're finding, and friendly encouragement, I probably would have given up searching for treasures after the first 1,000 shotgun shells and bullets. :P :D :-*

This weeks adventures. :icon_pirat:
I called Terri and Lisa and told them how I had been stricken by the wrath of CrazyJarHead, and how he was sending some really nasty cold weather this way. :'( And how that if we didn't get out and hunt on Wednesday, then we wouldn't be hunting again till next week because of all the cold. :o They felt really bad for me and agreed that if they didn't take me hunting, then I may suffer a sad fate and end up cleaning the house instead of hunting! :o
Well, here's my keepers from Wednesday. :)
Two tax tokens, (surprise, surprise) :D Two wheat cents, (both 1951) a neat buckle of some sort, a great marble.....LOVE to find the marbles! A miners tag, change, some sort of clip, and a surprise silver! Didn't know I had found one till I got home and spotted a bit silver peeking out at me..

I found another GREAT keeper on Thursday without ever leaving the house! 8) Seems someone has noticed my interest in looking for gold!! :icon_pirat: ;D Recieved this package with goodies in it!! :o I'm going to assume it was my WarsawDaddy that was ever so thoughtful! :-* Thank you!!!

Nana no bout adout it, you are one of the BEST!!!

Watching you in action is a vision of beauty. You inspire me to try and be a better detectorist and person!

Thanks!
 
Nice work, way to go!

Congrats. :)

So did the tree markings lead to a cache of $$? ???
 
Congratulations on some great finds. :thumbsup:

What could be better? You got out with some good friends, and found some really nice items. Love the marble (believe they called those Bees when I was a kid), and the Merc is a welcome find anytime.

We woke up here this morning, was only supposed to get a few flurries, and instead found a couple of inches of snow on the ground. It won't be here long, as a warm front is coming, but it sure makes huntin messy. Hope you are able to get out sooner than later.
 
Congrats on 10K Nana. Looking forward to your next 10K. I always enjoy your posts.

That's about the ugliest Merc I've seen :wink:! Congrats on post 10K; too bad it wasn't about 10K, or 14K, or 18K! That episode of Andy Griffith was a goodun'; most of life's essentials can be found somewhere in an episode of Andy Griffith. My favorite is "Citizen's Arrest." "Who looks foolish now, Sheriff?"
 
Wow... 10k !!! That's a lotta talkin', lol! I know you've become one of the most liked and respected members here over those 4 years....with good reason. I remember you joining right around the same time I decided to stop lurking and post. Time sure does fly, like you said. Congrats!
 
Nana - Nicky pretty much summed it all up perfectly (as usual :wink:) - big congrats to you on the 10k. Just think - two weeks 'til Florida... ;D

Nana, I'm glad there's folks like you who post religiously. I've been on almost six years and only posted a few hundred. :tard: If the board relied on guys like me there wouldn't be much to read. :wink:

I can't believe you found another couple of tax tokens! :wink: Hey, a guy at church gave me a couple of plastic ones. I didn't know they existed. I'll scan them and email them to you.
