Poor weekend!!

MonkeyBoy · Jan 12, 2009

Well, after all my excitement of getting another Jeep to take metal detecting..we load up and head up the mountian early sunday morning.. didn't think it out very well... and there was way.. way too much ice!! Almost lost her when I decided (foolishly) to go up that one extra road!!! Normally would have been ok, but the ice made it.. impossible.. I had two people guiding me back out.. nothing like backing down an ice covered mountian road!!

Totals for the day, for the group were slim.. 1 IH, 1 Wheaty, 1 V Nic, a nice big pewter button and various house site odds and ends.. In the afternoon I load up thr family and we went back to the spot where I had found the bottle Friday.. didn't find one intact bottle!!! We did get a lot of pieces of 5 different glazeware jugs and crocks... will be going back since there is a lot of area to cover and we have not found the dig trash pit yet...

There is a dealer installed set of "scramblers'?? on the Jeep.. they need to come off... need something with some bite for that road!!! but I did get it back down off the mountian.. there was one point where I thought for sure I was going to go sideways.. and that would have ended it right there.. hmm.. so maybe a winch too!!! ;-)

Piece those crocks together and post em!

If rare enough, those are worth good money--even pieced together. Mine brought me $500 in my pocket--and the auction house said that a broken and reassembled one that didn't even have the bottom in it, dug from a privy in the New England area, fetched $18,000 at one of their sales.

Get on it!

Best Wishes,
