I went to my Mom and Dad's today. I metal detected their back yard. I did that last year with the Delta 4000, but I didn't find but a couple nails and a spoon. The ground was really dry and hard and the Delta was acting up, and I knew too little about it, so, I gave up. Well, it's been raining these past two days. My Dad thought it was going to be a muddy mess. It wasn't. The topsoil was moist, but once I got past that it was dry. I chose the garden area. As usual, I dug up a lot of trash. I did get a 1967 quarter and a 197? penny, both roached and my Dad obviously hit the quarter with the tiller. I had this one target that was deep and I had a hard time finding it with the pin pointer. I knew by the way it was hit and miss that it was small. Finally, I found this pellet. It brought back a memory. My brother shot me when I was 6/7 and got his pellet gun immediately taken from him. I looked up and realized I was at the back of the garden where it all took place. I made my way back up to the house and got another signal. I dug up this little cap gun. I don't remember playing with it. It must've either been my brother's or one of my grandsons'. Kind of a cool hunt down memory lane.

ill probably work at the saw mill today. Waiting on parts to continue this mahogany. Burnt the coil in mid cut and now the saw is not running. So we are joining 2 book end matched slabs together in a big glue up. Also making some wood carving mallets out of mahogany heart wood on the lathe. We are also bending a rebar base for a large coffee table.
