I tried an experiment today. Thought I'd try a field I've been wanting to try but
couldn't really hunt due to high weeds. They never cut this stuff. But, I figured
ole man Winter would help out. It did, the grass was still long but it had been
knocked flat with all this cold.
What I was hoping was that the high grass would help keep the ground insulated
enough to dig. I was wrong.
However, I did manage to dig/chip/carve a single modern nickel out of there.
Soooo, I'm not counting the field out, just delayed til Spring.
Then, I stopped at a store to rebatterize. While there, I peeked
at the Coinstar slot.
Too soon to quit so I tried the good ole mansion for a bit:
This place is just full of surprises! LOL
But, I usually don't get too surprised while digging.
I just don't expect that every shiny piece to be gold.
Still, when I uncovered this one I sat back and said YIPES!!
Til I saw the back.
Which brings me to my star of the day.
I know not much, but still! I can't make out anything
on it. But, maybe somebody can pin down a time
frame from the type of loop.
Largest flat button I've found.
If you ask me, a successful day. Some just have
to keep grinding away. Just a couple finds but all in all,
a good day.
Thanks for stopping by and keep the faith!
