All Treasure Hunting
A severe identity crisis due to Un and/or Under Employment issue has slowed my hunting tremendously since September. Nonetheless, I managed to get out for a hunt close to were I found a vintage License plate. Hunted about 1 1/2 hours. Found a whole lot of nothing. Until near the end of the hunt. I recon out of desperation, I dug a few loud junk signals and found this charming very old Horse shoe followed by OX shoes. My first OX shoes. And they are definitely vintage and have square nails in them. Woo Hoo.

Also, most recently, I found my SECOND Silver quarter in 3 years. Funny thing is, it was less than 50 yards from the first.

Thanks for Looking at my Shoes.

Nice work great finds! Hope you're able to get out some more, it's just fun to feel like a treasure hunter in my opinion :). HH to u!
 

I'd love to dig those antique horse & ox shoes. :hello2: Also the silver quarter is cool. :hello2:

The unstable world & national economies have interfered with many people's work situations , including some of my family. Best to do what you can about it, but also make sure to spend part of every day doing things you enjoy, solo or with friends. All best wishes to you! Andi

Unstable for sure. Much of ones identity comes from the work you do. I've made career changes before. some were rough, some seamlessly, but never while in my 50's, and never after being in one field for nearly 15 years. It's a weird feeling. What ironic is that for much of the last three years, all I could think about while working, was hunting. Now, all I can think about is finding work. It took the wind out of my hunting sails. I'm sure it will all work out. Thanks for your good sentiments.

Happy Hunting.
Mariposa Gold.
