Yesterday I happened to spot an empty old house (1935) for sale a block off Main St USA. After talking with neighbors and using the tax records website I was able to come up with a phone # and also gain permission. :thumbsup: I figured since today was supposed to be the "coolest" day of the week at a frosty 95 degrees I had better get out and hit it. My Shamwow underwear did a fine job most of the day. :tongue3:
I started out great within the first 10 minutes scoring a couple silver dimes in the same hole. Unfortunately that was about the highlight of the yard. :laughing9: I was told there was a gold ring lost in the back yard many years ago, but I found two large bottle/trash areas that kind of killed the mood. :(
I was glad to at least have the chance to knock the dust off the ol' Silver Umax waiting for cooler weather this fall.
My finds were:
*1956 Rosie
*1943 Merc
*1928-56 Wheats
*Silver pin (real silver) - Any ideas what it is supposed to symbolize? :dontknow:
*Pine State Creamery token- Good for 3 cents. (My favorite find of the day) ;D
*Beat up FOB
*Padlock, spoon, watch, etc.
*Three small glass bottles buried 1/2 way in the dirt

Thanks for looking Folks & Happy Birthday to Quindy!!! (He's 72 today) :occasion15: :occasion18: :occasion13: :occasion16:

Let me know if you need help finding the Gold and where to get the Sham Wow underwear.

Were you using a jack hammer or pick-ax to dig with in this dry weather?

That's me Bill, The Crotchfather. :tongue3:
The ground wasn't too bad in most places, but I did hit some hard red clay soil in back by one of the old dump areas.
I'm wondering if the old guy just told me there was a gold ring back there in case I did find one. :icon_scratch: After I had detected and went home, I e-mailed his wife as I told her I would do to show her pictures of what I had found since they didn't live at this house. Since I hadn't found the ring I told her I could try again another time and asked if there was any idea where it may have been lost in the yard. No reply back on that question. :dontknow: Maybe the old guy was one step ahead of me. :laughing7:

P.S. You can find ShamWow underwear at any sweat shop. :tongue3:
 
Hey Doug, nice hunt again as usual. Silver is always welcome :thumbsup: You could promote me to Captain if you like! Man it was 110 degrees with the humidity today. I believe we shall wait to open up mother earth again for some glass. Heck the sand up here is melting into glass :icon_sunny: Be safe out there in that heat Pal. Check ya soon. jgas

Alright, that is no excuse. We Hoosiers are tough. Throw a canopy over the hole and keep digging! :tongue3: :laughing9:
I hate this heat too buddy.
