It's snowing outside, the white fluff covering the landscape reminding me of a sprawling sand dune. This sand dune makes me think of a beach. The beach makes me think of the ocean and warm sunshine. In my mind I'm metal detecting now.
I've never seen sand fall from the sky, never seen a thick forest of trees growing on a beach. But right now, in these moments, it's happening. What a strange and unusual beach.
There's a creek winding through the landscape, reminds me of one of those classic beach cuts that we all hope to find, deep and penetrating, exposing those firmer layers where gold is likely to be lying in wait. Must be low tide.
It's one o'clock in the morning and I'm considering a night hunt, no mosquitoes, that's for sure.
Eight weeks of cabin fever and this is what its come to. Yesterday I recovered a dime in the crack of the sofa and I was in heaven, put on my finds pouch and started checking all of the other furniture in the house, ended up with $1.42, an ink pen and a small toy car.
I was in the grocery store the other day, my metal shopping cart playing the role of dive boat, the produce section being a sunken galleon with its treasure spewed out all over the place. I got some really nice pieces of produce. I had to pay to hunt there but it was worth it.
I was online last night browsing ebay, saw a copy of Treasure Island for sale and I went straight into convulsions. Dog saved my life, used his long tongue to retrieve the Cheeto that was stuck in my throat while I lay flopping on the floor. Damn that dog loves Cheetos.
I'm sitting here in a loose fitting black sweatshirt, checker board flannel pajama bottoms, a gray stocking hat, and tan slippers. I have my reading glasses perched on the tip of my nose. Is this normal? Is this what a Hoosier is? I'm not sure how much more I can take.
I've been doing a lot of research lately, you know, trying to find some possible places to hunt. Not too far from me there's three different ATM machines and two banks, a couple of jewelry stores in town. Wetsuit, mask, flippers and detector........not sure that I'll be needing the snorkel.
Going to go outside now, scrap the snow and ice off the driveway to see if there's any pennies laying around.
