YEEEEHAAAAAA I had to work part of my day off again, but when I got off this afternoon it was GORGEOUS outside! With no pressing appointments or errands to run, no chores to attend to and nowhere I HAD to be, I headed to the park. Well, One of the parks around town. I frequent this one quite often, all the soccer fields and the fair grounds.. even if the fair grounds are locked up. *sigh* Anyway, that's where I spent my afternoon. For a hunt of nearly three hours I had a blast! I made some pretty interesting finds too! Coins of course, pull tabs OF COURSE .. in fact I found nearly as many pull tabs today as coins. Whew! and most all of them were dug, not picked up on the surface. TODAY I DUG.. a LOT.
I found Cell phone parts, not together though, a battery here, a circuit board there. I found a BUNCH of elastic bandage *athletic or ACE bandage* "clips" those little metal tabs with teeth that sink into the fabric of the bandages to secure the loose end when you wrap them around your ankle or knee or whatever. Imagine that, a soccer field and I find bandage clips. Who'd a thunk? <grin>
I also found some bling on the soccer field, or at least at the goal ends of the field. I found a neat little silver "stud" earring at one end of the field, with the back on it. Apparently someone had taken it off and placed it there beside the goal post and then forgot it or couldn't find it. It looks like a little sun face with eyes and a nose. See the pic in a bit. I found some beads, one metal, that's why I found them at the other goal post (other end of the field).. and some coins at either end. I found a GOLD earring in the parking area of that field. It's small but it's 14k !!
Pull tabs Pull tabs Pull tabs!!! Everywhere @#$)(*! Pull tabs! Did I mention that I found nearly as many pull tabs as coins? I *DID*
There was another marble amongst my finds today. As well as a thumbscrew! ? Odd wires and cable fasteners, there was the top of a disposable lighter, rusted! I found this cool numbered tag, looks like something off of a locker or something. I even found one piece of a pair of glasses. And Pull tabs.. more and more F#@#$$O*! Pull tabs!
Back under a bush, next to a tree I poked my detector in to sweep the base of the tree and I felt a bump. A Bump? I got down on my hands and knees and looked back in under the bush.... and there was a face looking back at me! *BLINK BLINK* A face?
Funny, it looked an awful lot like a pumpkin. A Jack'O lantern. NOT! It was a playground ball that had a pumpkin face painted on it. Well right there and then I adopted "Jack" Tom Hanks might have had "Wilson" in the movie Castaway, but now I have JACK! I'll pack him around in the back of my truck everytime I go detecting now, he'll be my somewhat inflated good luck charm. <grin> Hey, He must be good luck, I found a quarter not more than six inches from where the ball was. And a pull tab.. ANOTHER %)%*)#&^(&* Pull Tab!!!
Well I knew it was about time to call and end to today's hunt when I found.. no, not another pull tab.. an arrow! No kidding. An arrow.. I picked up the metal shaft with my detector, it rang out as a nickle.. I'm thinking Oh Great! Another Pull tab!.. I almost didn't dig, but then I saw the notch and part of the fletching sticking out from under the grass. I cut a slit in the grass roots along the length of the arrow, and then gently pulled it out of the dirt. It may not be a broadhead but the business end was still plenty deadly if it hit you. Another prize find. <grin> So with that I headed back to my truck to call it a day, swinging my detector along the way.. and bleep bleep bleep.. @#$)*#! BLEEP! Another !@#)%#)*@~! Pull Tab! SHEESH!!!!
Here's my pics... Enjoy!
Here's everything.. except Jack
Here's Bling! and Stuff
Here's the business end of the Sharp and pointy! and PULL TABS!!!
And finally.. here's my new Buddy.. JACK
I found a total of $3.43 in clad today.. that being 94 coins. I found 92 pull tabs.
Correction: I "DUG" 92 pull tabs! <grin>
Happy Hunting all
