Good morning, ANTIQ. AH, we all understand. No need to apologize. It's just gonna take some time.

I am reading your signature. Are you a John Wayne fan? Or did you just like those quotes of his? I have always bought John Wayne memorabilia for my dad as gifts. It's really the old school cowboys that he likes. So, guess who is ending up with the stuff I bought? Some still new in box. Oh well, it's the thought that counts.

Hi WD,
I've been a fan of John Wayne and Glen Campbell for at least 40 years, ever since I saw them in the original movie True Grit.
Nice to hear that your Dad is also a fan.

As far as I'm concerned, he was the original American Cowboy!

Have to go get ready for my workday here at home now.
Victoria Day long weekend here in Canada this weekend, have three sites targeted, hopefully the rain holds off.

See you all tomorrow morning, hope everyone has a nice day!
Dave

Sorry bout that.

No you're not. I know better.

I need to abandon ship, also. But it won't be for long. Supposed to start raining here in about an hour or so.

Good morning folks.....been raining for 24 hours now. Yesterday was a wash out. Looks like something tropical forming over us. Pretty cool to watch the patterns of rain form and wrap up on the radar loop. Definitely some rotation forming in this one. Been cleaning this coin and sadly it is coin sick. It's back in the distilled water but not alot of detail has survived. When I woke up this morn it had turned black again overnight. I'm happy to have even found it though. It was stuck to a clump of rusted metal....kind of an accidental find !! Others were found on shore here, none later than 1680. This one was in chest deep water.

Dave,

This one is for you.....

[h=1]Rainbow Bridge[/h] [SIZE=+1]Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Well done Bart!

Good morning to the whole crew. My realtek speaker connection for the computer is out of sync and have been trying to figure it out.

No luck so far....I'm starting to feel like Beeps.....

Looks like I'll cross the Rainbow Bridge with a large pack of dogs and two iguanas.

Outsatnding! Great work!

I detected for an hour or two, and found a burned shield penny and a 1988 dime.

Good morning (if I type fast) ARC, WD, Rook, RR, ANTIQUARIAN, Toecutter, Bart, Bill, GB, WHADIFIND, ECS, and the rest of our parade of pirates!

Bill, would you like me to apply the “magic” touch to that e-gadget?

RR- Benadryl.

ECS- I will have a whole Arc of critters....not our ARC the wood kind that floats.

That awesome. Congratulations

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Bart, treasure is treasure! Silver is silver no matter the condition. And when you hold it in your hand, and wonder who held it last...magical!!!

I had a feeling of foreboding this morning about an hour ago... and now I know why. A heating oil truck was in front of my house about to fill the oil tank...we have a wood burning stove. That would have not gone well. Whew! Dodged that one!
