Well I havent posted in a couple of weeks,thought Id show you folks what is in my finds cup. Havent had a lot of time to hunt,an hour here and there. Been hunting at a few promising places but not for very long. The ground has turned to concrete,no rain at all for several weeks,water conservation measures enacted,the whole nine yards. Dug a 10k small ring with a green stone at an old school house. Dug a merc at a house they are in the process of moving to widen the road right across the street from my old high school. They are tearing out a bunch of trees and grading an area where a bunch of houses used to sit a couple of blocks from my house should provide a lot of hunting and easy digging for most of the summer. I dug up a bent silver rosey there and a wheat one evening this weekend. Hunted a spot where an old farmers cabin used to sit on my in-laws property down in KY. Been a very tough area,they must have truly been dirt poor,Ive hunted it at least 6 or 7 hours in 3 or 4 trips and Ive managed one wheat that was worn so smooth couldnt tell it wasawheat without olive oil.My big find down there this trip was a spoon handle. Had a chance to visit a very old ferry landing down in KY that I researched. The area dates back to the late 1700s. The ferry operated up untill the early 50's when the ferry pilot(my mother-in-laws grandfather)fell off the ferry and drowned. The area that I was hoping to hunt in had weeds totally covering it chest high,they were a nasty variety too,whenever a leaf would tough any exposed skin it would immediately begin to itch and burn terribly,almost to the point of madness. The areas that we were able to hunt gave up a ton of bullets of all shapes and sizes,just one coin though a memmy,hope to get back downthere this winter. Also dug up a .925 dog charm from a tot lot me and one of my twins hunted for a bit. Heres a few pics.
A not so good pic of a project Im working on that consumes entirely too much of my time and money
Hers a shot of my favorite son Mr.Stewart relaxing on a hot afternoon.
The person I probably admire the most in the world died fathers day,my papa(grandpa). He lived to be 87,flew a B-24 over Germany in the war,21 missions. He was really a wonderful person and was much loved by everyone who knew him. Im glad I made a very concious effort to see and talk to him as often as possible over the years,I never put it off because I had something more important to do. If you guys have some older folks that you keep meaning to go and visit with dont put it off this time. Thanks for looking...Shoot
