Been a While!

[Capncrunch]

I went back to work late in May and since then I haven't had much time to detect, and even less to post finds. I did get to beach hunt in west Florida (Perdido Key Beach), a few weeks ago- the Simplex did fine. I also got to find a cache of 33 (modern) coins, within a 2 foot area, in the park down the street- that I thought I had hunted-out! Then yesterday I got off work and hunted one of my oldest friend's mother's yard- I've known them for 54 years, she's 88yo and the last woman that I will ever call 'Mom". Here's the (best) results of my few times out.
The first 8 are from Florida (ironically I used to work at the plant, in KCMO, that made the .50 cal Armor-Piercing Tracer rounds,), and the 7.92MM 1942 case was made in Canada as a knock-off of a Chinese round- Apparently, to be used by Special Ops on foreign missions (if any cases were found after a gunfight, the Chinese would be blamed)! Unfortunately, the bracelet was the only jewelry I found (DRAT!) but my daughter likes it! The token is a 5-cent 1936-7 Alabama Luxury Tax, and the bottle of coins were found in the 5 days we were there.
The next two photos came from Mom's yard. I was pleasantly surprised to find the Chaffeurs pin, as Mom said that her husband had detected their yard extensively- with a 70s Garrett Fortune Hunter TR.
Keep digging for the gusto!

Nice job!!

I like your Icon Joe! Bloody Bill Anderson was killed in an ambush in the town my mom was born in! It's only about 6 miles from where I live, and I have looked for and still hope to find some tangible evidence of that gun-battle.

Thanks for that Jeff! I believe that we are supposed to live life with zeal, passion and purpose! That way when it's over and we look back at what we have done, we will have few regrets, because we will know that we did the best that we could. Besides, nobody wants to hang around with people who are boring and 'just get by.'
