Todays Hunt

[jeff of pa]

Not Much to Talk about today

Except I did manage to Trip over a Log
My detector Flew through the Air one way
& I went Flying the Other. Somehow I Managed Not to stab myself with My Digging Knife
although I found it under me. & I Didn't break Me or my Detector

Gotta Watch out. Those Logs Jump Right between your Feet

No Date Buffalo



Bent 1898 Indian

I'm not too suprised you had a nice trip, this is the Fall...



I know it was corny, but some things just have to be said !

 

[CRUSADER]

Is the 'Navy' button, civilian or military?

 

[weasel606]

[DD-777]

Nice digs Jeff - love that Navy button...

 

[BandB1]

Cool find!

I got out today and couldn't believe it, Oct. 11 in Michigan and it was hot enough that I was sweating, and I was bitten several times by mosquitoes. Found a button and a bit of clad.

Good luck,
HH.

I would Guess Civilian by the type. & size smaller then a dime.

BandB1; It got up in the 70's Here also.
Should be nice through Tuesday.

Don't want to say that Dirty S word but I hear it has Started in the NW already.


Thanks Everyone.

[dave-enc]

nice finds jeff wtg, good thing you didnt hurt the digger, we always like seeing buffalos dated or not. Our son moved to North Dakota last month and they were getting there first snow. 100 miles west of them on the Montana border the were predicting maybe a foot of snow for them

Hey Jeff,
I had an interesting fall, last fall as well but with a little more intense injuries. I was stepping over a huge downed pine tree and my shoe lace caught a broken limb and just as you did I threw my detector and used my shovel to break my fall with a disastrous outcome. It appeared to look like I tried to commit suicide for the broken tree limb was more like a bungy stick . Everything looked fine until I dropped my arm and the warm fluid started to flow, I still have the scar in the middle of my wrist.
Any way great digs Jeff
And feel your pain,LOL

Ouch !

Just the Thought Makes me Cringe !

Thanks Everyone for the Comments.

Was just Re-Reviewing the Property Lines in the
1875 Atlas & Saw an Intresting Feature.
May have to Test my Thoery Tomorrow.

WhitesPa's Tag with an 1875 Date seems to
Point that I may be Right Also.

Gotta Watch out. Those Logs Jump Right between your Feet

Nice finds Jeff!
No truer words have ever been spoken about logs jumping between your feet though.
You can get seriously hurt out in the woods.
About a month ago, I took a tumble, after a stick got caught somehow between my legs and the coil end of the detector, and I went sailing down a hillside. Everything went flying, and I thought I broke my leg.
I was laying there for a few minutes, praying that my leg wasn't broke, and praying that I didn't need to call for help. I was OK after a few, but I did bang up my knee pretty bad, and had to limp around for 2 weeks after that.
But that was just more Re-assurance not to ever go detecting alone, (especially in the woods, or around abandoned homesites) without a Cell-phone in a Zipp-able pocket.
