A Half-Cheek Snaffle kind of day. . .

[watercolor]

Yesterday kimsdad & I hunted the forest and while Neil was finding ALL the V-Nickels and Wheats ( )
I found a plated suspender shield, a tiny memo book and part of a lead seal.
Any ideas as to what this seal may have been part of?



Today I was out for maybe 30-minutes. . . then it started pouring rain
Before it got really bad, I dug this half-cheek snaffle near the river bank.



Thanks for looking,

Hey Mark, that memo book is really cool!!

It was so muddy it was hard to tell what was what out there!

Now I see what you were trying to describe to me over the phone... a half-cheek snaffle bit.

Sounds like something that could happen to ya if you didn't look where you were sitting in the woods.

You always find the coolest relics, and seem to know right away what they are!

Thanks Sherm! I was surprised there was still a little paint left on it. . . had no idea what it was until I got all the mud off.

Hey Bob, I wish I could remember what part of the woods I found that book. . . I'd really like to find the other half.

Thanks Tim!
The last entry in that book probably read: "Need more Cracker Jack" :P

Christy, there's still a LOT of iron in that bank that I couldn't dig. . . too steep and it started pouring rain. Next week
You and the girls take care and find some gold

Nice little memo book! Nice to find cool relics like that to help hold you over until the coins start popping out.
