Found my first silver thimble!

[treblehunter]

I called oldjerseygirl up and we went checking on our soybean fields. I'm trying to set it up where I can invite a bunch of people to hunt these fields with us. The fields are still in beans, so hopefully I'll get a call soon. We left there and went knocking on some doors. Finally got permission to do a very old house, late 1700's, early 1800's. I had that feeling it was probably a place that had been pounded by detectors in the past. My CTX managed to pull this tiny silver thimble out of its dirt nap. I got a 13-45 at seven inches. It was down easy eight or nine inches. The only mark on it is a 6. Another site I wish I could have been at in the 70's, I bet it was loaded with 1700's coins and relics!
Enjoy the pix

Nope, grasshopper. "luck" has nothing to do with it, we've paid our dues. I once worked 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 6 months!!

Now.....it's your turn in the box.

UNLESS! You find Blackbeard's treasure! LOL

That's the one good thing about getting older ~ you only have to work the long hours if you want to. I used to work 164 hours every 2 weeks. That's a month and 4 hours OT for most folks. Money is wonderful, but if you don't have time to spend it, what good is it lol?

Nice thimble. Can't wait till I can find one in great shape. I've only found them crushed, bent, flattened and damaged by fire.

I use to hate working all those hours and then looking at my pay stub to see Uncle Sam smiling at my tiered arse.

 

[treblehunter]

When we were building the Taj Maja in AC i worked 7 months of 7 days a week. The last 3 months 16 hrs a day.
That was just one job in 1989.
Nothing lucky about it, i paid my dues. I didn't make it out with Vino today. It rained all day at that site. I went to a cellar hole near me.

While i was sewing yesterday i was using my thimbles. I prefer my open end one when i need to cut thread allot.

C'mon Dave, I'm a dirty filthy roofer like Abe said. I don't know why, i guess it's too cut thread? Ha lol

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Thimble my butt. Looks like a little people cookie cutter to me!
