I would like to crown myself......and a keg

[Blind.In.Texas]

undisputed heavy-weight champion Token Finder. Hit a stand of woods near a cemetary today. OUTSIDE...not....INSIDE. First hit was a 55-D wheaty. 12 pennies in all, 2 quarters, and 30 tokens!!

I also dug a cute little copper water spigot-nozzle-faucet....thingy. I would like to see the ornamentation of the handle, but, I like it just the way it is.

Sunday I was out in the woods near my house and, believe it or not, I found a keg out there!!! It has been out there for several years. A couple of small trees were growing right at each end of it!! Still had a quart or so of old beer and a lot of air pressure inside!! MY KEG!!!! Budweiser...mine...all mine....Also found a nutcracker and some sort of light-duty trailer hitch. I am guessing it mounted for something like a lawnmower or similar sized vehicle.

Dug a plate off some sort of furnace for home or office use. Can't tell. Didn't care. The disk is from a previous dig. The front has Pat. Oct. 20 .08 (as in 1908). On the back are two pontil-type marks and a '141'.

I am on track to break a thousand digs for January!!

Thanks for looking!

Mike-

They put a big deposit down on kegs - go get it!

i was just thinking the same thing. around here, the deposit is $50 on a half keg. you should be able to cash in at the local beer distributer!

do you use some sort of counter to keep track of the holes you dig? Bob

No. I just count the pieces as I seperate the keepers from the trash and then update whenever I have something fair to post or whenever I have coins to log.

I thought about returning the keg. Someone has already paid for it. Class rings are one thing to return, but, when a person leaves beer lying around it's fair game. I am thinking of making a smoker out of it. I have already figured out where I am going to put the door. Now to figure out where the racks go. On the other hand the deposit money could go toward a new machine or coil or something!! I gotta sleep on that one.
