Another Strange Find.....

[Garrett424]

I had about 45 minutes to hunt after work before the sun went down so I went to an old fishing hole I've been fishing since I was a little kid.

Anyway, I wasn't having much luck and spent most of my time digging trash, sinkers and some clad. Then I got a strong hit and dug up this:



At first I thought it was an ear gauge but upon closer inspection, I thought it was a hearing aid or watch battery. It's neither.

It's called an "I-Button Wire Thermochron". It's some type of mobile communication microchip encased in an all weather "can". I don't know exactly what it's used for just yet. I've never seen or heard of one before tonight. There's writing etched onto the surface but I couldn't get a good shot of it. You can vaguely make out a few characters but that's the best I could do.

It's just about the size if a dime and maybe 3/16" thick.

I just thought this was a very unusual find; especially given the location.
You just never know what you're gonna' dig up at any given time or place.

A girl I work with was talking about that just today but I was too busy to really listen. That's a crazy story.

Nothing is safe anymore. Honestly, this site is the ONLY place I ever post online. I gave all of that up a few years ago after being hacked and even stalked several times.

Don't even get me started about how much I dislike Facebook and people posting their life stories for all the world to see. There is one exception and that's my son's FB page because he uses it to drive business to his online money making ventures. He's actually doing quite well but he's using it in a smart way.


But yeah, those fake towers are downright creepy. Sadly, I'm not the least bit surprised that someone or some entity (or entities) have done this. I can't see an end in sight to this sort of thing. In fact, I expect it to only get much worse as the years roll on.

Yup, I agree. Facebook is a horrible thing. I really don't understand why anyone would want to participate on Facebook, with all the bad stuff on there. I read the other day that most new affairs start on Facebook. No need for that disaster in my home. My son knows better than to even mention Facebook.

Ha, I warned you not to get me started!!

My ex wife met some clown online and had an affair. This was almost 15 years ago. It wasn't FB but it was bad enough. Needless to say, she's my EX and a very good riddance. Of course, the dude is long gone. Supposedly, it was "love" at the time. Yeah right!! Friggin' idiots.

The trouble, heartache and pain caused in so many lives as a result of that kind of thing is indescribable, especially where young kids are concerned. You're right, the word "disaster" is quite appropriate and you do NOT need anything like that. No one does. I promise you that.

Sorry you had to go through that. I am sure that pain is immeasurable. I think most people that are on Facebook and those types of sites are looking to cheat. Otherwise there is no reason to be on there.

These things happen in life. Everybody goes through something sooner or later.
What matters is how you come out on the other side.
