First SILVER (Sorta) and First GOLD COINS (Kinda) 10 Minutes apart!

[RatRacer]

I finally found SOMETHING made out of silver! It's a crappy wire earring, but SILVER! And I found 20 GOLD COINS! Well, sort of... but... well... at least they're GOLD! WHEE! Eleven cents, too!
Plus I broke my digging tool.
And got hit in the eye with a bee while riding the Rustwing home- opened my helmet shield to let some cool air in, WHACK! BEE! EYE! OW!

It was still fun, though. I'm going back out. Thpfftt.

Too bad they aren't bigger... or real... I think they're plated zinc. They were both together, lying on the surface, so someone took them off and sat them down. Ugly, but better than nothing!
Lucysheep and I are going to spend ALL DAY Sunday at her Parents' farm... Maybe we'll have REAL silver and gold to show you!

 

[RatRacer]

Thanks for the encouraging words, everyone! Glad I could share. Oh, and Lucysheep says she's going to find silver first. I don't doubt her.
