YEEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAWWWWWWWWW! Had a good day today.. as if you couldn't tell already. I spent a big part of the day with my wife and her mother who's visiting while her furniture is being moved. We had breakfast, then went to the farmers' market, then to her (mother in law's) new apartment... after stopping at a business supply store to purchase a new computer desk. Upon signing paperwork and getting the key to the new digs.. uh.. apartment, we toted in the new desk, in it's box, and began assembly. Well, I did the assembly while my wife and her mom did the apartment walkthrough inspection then ordered lunch and went to the store to get a few items. The desk was assembled before too long and then it was off to the insurance agent's office to get some other papers signed. Then the grocery store on the way home. .. I was getting antsy to say the least, I mean it was such a GORGEOUS day out and I was NOT metal detecting! ON a DAY OFF!!!! <grin> Not to worry though. I left dinner preparations in the capable hands of my wife and her mother and grabbed my machine and headed to the fair grounds.
Another fair grounds that is, in a neighboring county, just about 20 minutes away from home. That county's fair ended Sunday and I was hoping I might find some good stuff, if not just some clad to add to the vacation fund. <grin> Unfortunately the findings were pretty much as slim as what I'd found a couple of weeks ago at another county's fair grounds. All the same lightbulbs, lenses, curtain hooks, bolts and miscellaneous hardware.
There were some more interesting finds however, One Canadian penny <grin> and the corner from one dollar bill (US).. wish I could have found the rest of the bill. <shrug>
I found lots of plastic soda caps (wife likes to put codes into the websites for free stuff), the omnipresent pull tabs of course, a smattering of hair clasps, keys, buttons, odds and ends pieces of metal, a plaque tag for someone's third place in "Class E" whatever that is.. and one really big and unusual token.
A closer look at the token shows it to be for Caesar's ... Caesar's Palace? in Louisiana? Mardis Gras?
with Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh?
Oh and there was one poor discarded little toy car.. only it was more than it appeared.. you could say that it was "More than meets the eye!" <laughing>
Ok.. so enough of that.. here's the big collection of the Clad that some other detectorists "disdain" <grinning> I look at it as an investment in my future.. future liesure time that is.. vacation funding.
And that "funding" took another little boost today as a result, indirectly perhaps, of my metal detecting outting this afternoon and the money I found during that outting. I caught a Go-Fer!
<laughing> Yeah, I stopped on my way home from detecting to get a soda, on a whim I bought a few scratch off lottery tickets for my wife and I to "play" with when I got home. We never really win much of anything from these tickets, just the occasional $1.00 or maybe $5.00 score... but this day was different. WOOHOOOO!!!!
I had to read the directions twice to make sure I got it right, but there it is in black and.. uh.. grey scratch off ink. I spent $5.00 for the tickets, and they yielded $61.00 in payback! COOL. After dinner this evening, we took our winning tickets to cash them in and took my wife's mom and ourselves out for an icecream.. celebratory icecream! Smooooooth! <laughing> The remainder goes into the vacation fund. Yeah, the pickin's might have been slim at the fair grounds, but it was a good day overall! Got to love this hobby!
Happy Hunting Everyone!
