Yeah, I know what you mean. The weather here in south Texas is a real mess. It is mid fifties at night and mid eighties by day, but the really bad part is that it is 'partly cloudy'. You know what I mean? I can't be out searching more than seven or eight hours a day. Sigh!
Yesterday, quite insensitively, I posted the above, teasing all those who suffer through long, cold winters. I do truly apologize. This is a self-serving notice to them all. I think they read the post and held a private internet seance to curse my activities. So I went out today for seven hours in an otherwise productive area and found:
2 - Paperclips
14 - small, rusty nails
4 - staples
1 - large piece of bent, twisted iron that looks like half a boat davit (in the desert) (weighs almost half a pound)
7 - .22 casings in short, long and super bee
1 - small bolt with nut attached
1 - fishing rod tip (I am not kidding, just the little metal tip from the end)
3 - tent grommets
7 - tent stakes
1 - 7" spike (Man did that thing give a signal!) (Not R.R. - just a very large nail)
1 - small metal hair berrett
1 - hairpin (Do ladies still wear those?)
1 - small rusted wing nut
countless pull tabs and bottle caps
4 - common Memorial Lincolns
1 - 1998 nickel
two more shades in my sun tan
Ladies and gentlemen of the north. I surrender. I do most humbly and sincerely apologize.
Forgive me?
Lift the curse?
Thanking you in advance.
I, lived in Tennessee for a few years a while back, up in Clarksville, but I'm not from there. I live in an RV full time and I am retired and traveling the country with my Garrett. Right now I am in Texas a bit north of Big Bend N.P. I hope to visit South Dakota, again, this spring and summer.
Thanks for lifting the curse!
let me know if you are ever going to be in PA i know GREAT civil war sites
I intend to travel east again to look over some CW Sites in 2014. I was at Olustee Florida before it was a park. I have also scouted some parks outside their boundaries. I organized a hunt at a park in Georgia with ranger's permission with the idea that everything found was turned over. You never saw so many mini balls. Before I travel that way I will invest in some books and maps. I will also get with you. To all who read this who do not believe Spirits can still be heard and felt, spend a night at Gettysburg or Shiloh Cemetery. Shiloh is the most haunting (only word that fits) place I've ever been.
