I haven't had a lot of extra time to hunt the past couple of weeks. But Lisa and I did manage to make it back out to the Blue barn for a little while and then the 'hunted out site'. I got another tag with the T&G stamped on it AND another one of those little squirt guns. I found one of these last year when I went hunting with MartyG and didn't know what it was, but PBK ID'd it for me. I was kinda suprised to find another one!

The token is for a shoe company. It is very worn but I could read what it says...
'Manier and Cos...Trade Mark.....Goldmedal Shoes'.

On Sunday we had our annual family reunion and as always we had a great time. I always look forward to this day. Get to hear about all the fish stories. ;)

Then, Monday morning Charlie announces that he wants to take the week off and get some stuff done around the house. Well...Lisa and I had already planned to go huntin at the park cause she had bought a new MD and wanted to try and learn how to use it. We went, and I ended up with a pocket full of clad. Nothing else. :-\ But we had fun. :)

Here's a picture of Charlie getting all that work done.... ::)

And as usual he thinks I am just always playing around not getting anything done...... :D

These two helpers made my job so much easier. ;)

I will have to say that Charlie did manage to get a few things done over the week. I had decided that I needed two goats to help me keep that grass cut, so he finished fencing off a couple of acres for me and we went shopping for goats. ;)
Meet Billy and Bob. The newest members of my family. :D

Around about Friday, after getting all the chores done we went up to Smith Lake to get a little fishin in and Charlie got the prize for smallest catch! Now ya'll don't tell him I am posting these pictures! He'll get me for sure! :D

Dakota went with us and had never seen a catfish. Charlie reels one in and as you know they make all kinds of weird noises. Charlie says to Dakota, "Can you hear what he is saying, Dakota?!" And Dakota looks puzzled and says, "No Papa Charlie, what is he saying?" Charlie says, "He's saying, 'Dakota...help meeee....get me loose!'" Well Dakota thought that fish was the best thing he ever saw and spent the rest of the afternoon asking why he couldn't catch a talking fish like that! :D He'd pull in a fish and say, "I don't want that one! I want one like Papa caught. :D

After a long week of not getting to go hunting, yesterday Lisa and I went back to the 'hunted out site'. No great coins but some neat relics. Found a bell, a shoe buckle, a suspender buckle, a neat little shield thingy that has 'Fontana Dam NC' on it, a pin/brooch, 1929 wheat and of course the bullets. ;)

Here's a link to the Fontana Dam. I thought that was a neat read, and could be some hunting sites there for those of you that live in the area! ;)

thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures with us. Nothing like getting on here and seeing pics of found treasures and smiling kids to make the day end well.
 

Nana - Great post and love the pic's - especially the one of the two "Kids" leaning on the fence at the ballfield. Maybe a submission for a Father's Day photo contest? Love the little gun.

Those relics are awesome! Thanks for sharing your week.....

So how is the dog doing after riding in that RTV with Charlie? Poor dog. :D ;D

Great pictures. Looks like you are very busy with those small kids. Enjoy them.

Catfish are fun to catch. We caught a bunch on the Sandusky Bay(Lake Erie) last summer.

Some good Metal Detecting finds. I love the shoe token.

Nana is back and all is well. Well, almost, Mona, Lonewolfe, Floater, etc., etc., are still AWOL. :'(

SUPER great post and it's amazing how similar our finds are.

We've been entertaining company for some time so detecting has been put on hold for me. I think our visitors are getting a little tired of hearing me say "Man! I'd sure like to hunt that place sometime!" ;D

Enjoy the hunts Nana!

:) Thanks ya'll! :)

Sherm...I relayed your greetings to Billy and Bob and they said "Baaaa". ;D (you knew that was coming!) ;D :D

RR...The origional plan was to purchase two Nanny's. We went to four different places to purchase them and they were either sold out, closed or only had Billy Bob's.

Dave...These little goats are so funny! It's neat to watch them play around. If these two survive the coyotes and such, I am going to add a few more. They really haven't been any trouble at all. Go ahead and get a couple for Bobbie!!! :)

Bob...Zack the dog LOVES to ride in the Kubota!!! When he hears the engine start up...better make a spot for him to ride! :D

Thanks again ya'll and have a great weekend!!!

Nana :)
