MDing with my NC Homies

ModernMiner · Dec 27, 2008

Well Folks, I played host to DD-777 (Andy) , Mave (Chris), and NC-Joe (Joe) here on my home turf today. We hit the 1779 plantation house first and then the 1830's CW house.

***BE SURE TO SEE NC-JOE'S POST*** He found a most EXCELLENT find today!!!
Just goes to show you, you can go over a spot numerous times and STILL miss some targets. :'(

As usual, a day full of laughs and busting each others chops. :sign10:

Joe is a BIG guy and would barely fit in my 4-runner. He looked like a guy in a clown car.

My meager finds for today were:

*Domed shaped button with shank & "Gilt" back mark.

*Old skeleton key

*Strange looking heel plate

*Rusty pocket knife - CW?

*1948 Wheat (whoopie :tongue3:

)

*Asst'd mystery items - Any idea on some of these trinkets?

*Some sort of hook - any ideas?

*Small bottle with "Illinois" on the bottom.

Not the best day of finds, but it was great hanging with my Homies! Thanks Guys.

I'm glad I brought my video camera because our other "professional" photographer couldn't figure out how to use his camera. I won't mention any names. :tongue3:

Joe,
Thanks so much for that cool CW coin you gave me. That baby is awesome! I'm glad you had a good time.
Hurry up & post your find. I've been hitting the "refresh" button for 2 hours straight now. :wink:

Was I that obvious? :tongue3:

I mean really, how hard is it to operate a Polaroid camera? :tard:

You know he's going to be up all night screwing with that thing until he finds the buttons to push to change the delay! Then he'll be so darn tired he won't remember what he did in the morning! :tard:

You'll have to excuse Doug's attitude in this "post" of his. He was upset right from the get-go this morning because he forgot his step ladder to get in and out of his 4Runner

- and then to make matters worse, he lost his clown shoes :-[

...

Great hunt again today Doug. As usual, it's always a blast regardless of what finds we make. The one thing you forgot to mention in the video was that Chris was actually trying to burrow under the highway...

By the way, I found your shoes... :tongue3:

Either that or a brass piece off the side of a pocket knife.

Hunting with buddies is where it's at MM.
Looks like you had a decent day, nice group of finds.

Chris,
I like the new TN name & avatar. :thumbsup:

Next time let's throw a container full of BB's in front of Andy and Joe to keep them busy while we hunt for the colonials. :wink:

Looking forward to your post,
Doug
