Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
Last week I was cruising the old hood looking for demos as all the tot lots around here have been hammered pretty good. I happened up on a huge open area that looked freshly demoed. Checking the ownership, I found it was available to dig and dig I did. I broke out the AT Pro and started detecting. Can slaw, nails, iron the works in trash. Now this is located in a very old area of town with lots of history so I was hoping for something good.
After digging a truck load of trash and sweating like a pig and a 65 year old body screaming at me to stop and cool off, when at last I heard the sweet 91 signal blaring through my headphones. Got a cold chill through this old body and dug down about 3-4" and out popped this beauty. My first thought was oh hell naw! Then oh hell yeah!!! I was alone so no one to holler at or dance for but did anyway. Luckily the neighbors didn't complain. Lol.
Yep so my bucket list is one item shorter today. She cleaned up pretty well I think. Soaked in olive oil overnight and did some light scrubbing with the pencils and soaked it again then more scrubbing. And yes I will be back. Just as soon as my back says its o.k..:laughing7:
