They are tearing the older part of town down along the river,so since it was drizzling rain and freezing cold I thought it was a perfect day to hunt and not go to work. They have demolished the houses and according to an old 1875 map, there was a chinese laundry and bathhouse here. The grader had pushed the top layers of dirt around and I began seeing tons of broken bottles,dishes and pottery. Sad Sad Sad! Then I pulled the tiniest bottle I have found out of a pushed over tree stump,followed by the clay marble. After picking through lots of shards and a few long spikes ,I decided to crawl under some shrubs,to get out from the rain. Then I saw it...the hundred dollar bill! It was sticking out from a huge rock....Wet and freezing I slithered right in there and wrestled that rock for ownership. I was doing the happy dance in my head...and singing "I found a hundred dollars..I found a hundred dollars". Finally able to push that rock,using both feet...my greedy little hands pulled that hundred dollars out ,all ready to give it a big kiss....I was even being greedier by thinking I had found the Chinese Cache ...visions of what we were going to buy (ok ,pay off) danced in my mind....when WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....It was fake! Now I was total mud from head to foot and the dang laundry and bathhouse wasnt even open!
