I had to take a break for a week or so because
of a sciatica attack.
It's ok though, I really didn't cotton to the idea
of digging thru rock hard, sun dried ground under
a merciless sun anyway!
So, today I went to a place where I *knew* digging would
be minimal, to test things out. Did ok and had a wonderful
surprise or two along the way.
I was truly trying to unmask targets in a very heavily hunted
iron field around an old house.
The sun had just disappeared behind a cloud and the temperature
dropped approximately 30 degrees while it's hiding.
So, the iffy signal
I was trying to work became a dig. Lo and behold! The sun popped out
at the same time I saw this:
Ahhhhhhhhhhh! This meant more to me than you guys know.
For you see, I haven't found a silver coin since February!!
Now, I haven't been "hurting" for silver. So far this year I have
found *better* than 100 grams of sterling! A pretty fair chunk!
But......no coins!
And THAT is the reason I go out there!!
An aside to this find is that when I decided to go today I had mentioned
to the Lord that if I could just find one-single-decent-old-coin-of-any-kind.
And , not have my back hurting would make me a very happy camper!
So, after I found this and thanked Him profusely, I did have the thought
come mind; "Wonder if this was just a fluke."
Lo and behold......again!!
This pops out!
Now......just how about them apples!! LOLOL
Here's the day's take:
The pile on the right? What I dug today.
The pile on the left? Coinstar!
This piece is interesting. The first picture, (front), is magnetic
I *think* I see a design. The reverse? Lead seal?
I do believe I like Fishy's choice best.
Thanks for peeking!
