Longest day in awhile with my Nephew djm of PA

[jeff of pa]

Probably 7 Hours,
& over a Hundred Miles.

Buddy Picked me up at 7:30 AM

First stop, we didn't Hunt.
School from Only 50's.
Looked it over & Decided Maybe some-another time



next stop Picnic Grove I Was familiar with
for nice old Coins, But not my day

Had to stop for Re-permission.
I Had it before But wanted to make sure
I Was welcome Back



Got a little Clad & Trash, but nothing old.

from there tried to find somone home for the next stop.
Old grove Now someones Yard.



Nobody home
But did get a little history from an Elderly couple
out for their daily health walk.
or Walking home from an Early Drunk on at the Pub

Next stop, Listed as a park in the 40's
on an Old Road map
now just woods.



Nobody in site to ask

So on to the Next one from
the 40's Map



As we almost Drove By, an Elderly Gentleman
Waved at us from his porch, so we turned around
and decided to pay him a Visit

When My nephew asked He said "Right Here,
may yards in the Middle of it"

Permission Granted My Nephew took the Yard,
I Went to the woods to the side.

my 2 Keepers were a 1929 & 1919 Wheats


buttons



& A White Milk Glass Jar with
Lions on the Lid




Then a Carnival Grounds that was too New



Next stop was Dinner

then on to our Last spot.

Found this tiny grove on the 40's road map,
& Arial on PenPilot, & Only access is along
a Farmers field, Or park on a Grown up Hillside.



Drove back to the Farm to ask,
& The farmers son ended up telling us it was His Land
& Gave us Permission with a Warning.

"It's Been Hunted Out"



Found Lids

a car

and a 1957 Roosie



Next stop Home after 2:30 PM

My Gas "Dinner" rebate only 54 Cents

 

[texjim]

well you must still be starving if you ate off of 54 cents.. nice job on the dime

 

[allen]

sounds like you had a good time with your nephew.
Plus you got silver and wheaties, that makes it better.

 

[thrillathahunt]

It's days like this that separate the men from the boys.

Congrats on the silver rosie. See, you proved that place wasn't really hunted out at all.

Sounds like a good way to spend the day and get out and about.....great weather today too.

Yes it wasn't till we hit the last 2 spots that the sun
came out.

& It was only getting overbearing during the Last hunt.

Thanks All

54 cents might get a slice of cheese..

One of these days, you will find a jar under one of those lids, full of Morgans, Barbers, Indians, and brand new SLQ's out the yazhoo. That is my dream, anyway, everytime I start to uncover a zinc lid. You may need a flash mob to do the happy dance adequately for that kind of find.
