Found My First Cache, 2 Coconuts & 1 Dead Rooster !!
Weatherman got it wrong again. Instead of 2 days of snow and sleet we thankfully only got 1 day of rain. Most of the snow washed away and temps were above freezing. You know what that means
right. Yes,(before the temps drop and the ground freezes again), I headed for a popular sledding spot I've been eyeing, in search of some lost booty. I had a ball picking up small pocket dumps at the bottom of the hill, not much digging, mostly freshly dropped coins on the surface. A Quarter here, 30 cents there, 70 cents over here, a set of keys over here, I just kept giggling as I went along gladly picking up the shiny trinkets. I thought I had scratched my itch enough to start scanning my way up the hill and back towards the car.
While scanning around the top of the hill I noticed something to my left, between a couple of trees. So I went to check it out. Hmmm, a small coconut and 2 plastic grocery bags with something inside? . As I got closer I could see brand new coins sticking out from under one bag. Whoopee!! I thought, as I picked up the bag and more coins fell lout. Then another coconut?
UH-OH.. I had just stumbled upon someones voodoo ritual. I stood there staring down at all the change and thought what to do 
?. Well being that I only believe in the almighty lord I decided to ignore the hokus-pokus stuff and I began to fill my pouch. The bag apparently had already been opened,(there probably had been some more money in there), but the person must have gotten spooked and dropped it before fleeing the scene. Not me!, I grabbed every shiny coin. 
Also in the bag was some sort of a mango paste, brown feathers, small pieces of different colored fabric, a piece of lettuce all wrapped together in tissue. And 2 small white candles. Oh yeah and the other bag, hmmm, these rituals usually involve some sort of a sacrifice right?. I really didn't want to see what was in that bag, as I poked it, it didn't feel like it contained any more coins. Something larger, heavier. So I started to walk away.. Curiosity killed the cat right, I just had to know, by the way I hoped it wasn't a dead cat. So I picked it up and made a slit in the top with my digging tool and saw all the brown and black feathers and the smell of death. I didn't grow up on the farm but I know a dead rooster when I see one.
OK that's enough, I decided to get out of there but not before calling my wife to let her know what I had found, you know just in case something happened to me right. She said I would get bad luck,
but what does she know. I hung up and made a bee-line to the car with my loaded pouch. All together I came home with 130 coins; 9 quarters, 17 nickels, 40 dimes, 63 pennies, 1-2001 Trinidad & Tobago penny, and a set of keys. Total of $7.73. I left the rooster and the coconuts but the smell of fruits and death followed me home. OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH.... Is the boogie man gonna get me tonight?
Wish I had my camera at the time. I made a scanned image of my first cache after I rinsed the mango paste off. Sorry no photo's of the rooster or the coconut mango potion...
