unknown roadside Picnic area today

[jeff of pa]

couldn't settle on a spot today so I decided to follow my nose.

while driving I remembered a roadside pavilion I just found the owner to last saturday,
but he wasn't home, so I drove by today & got Permission.







Was told just don't cross the fence into the Game reserve
which was a no Brainer anyway.

Place was loaded with Glass, & trash






only one Memorial for a gas rebate.



while detecting there was a guy mowing grass in the game preserve,
I purposely let him see me & I waved with my digger, and he gave me a weird look,
later I see him on my side of the fence coming towards me & he stops on his mower & asks

What's your name ?
I had my headphones on & Pretended I Didn't hear & asked Huh ?

He repeated "What's your Name ? " so I told him who I was & where I was from.

he then asked "Do you know where you are ? "

I said "Yea Gettin' hot "

He gave me a confused look, so I decided to let him off the hook,
& said Yea I was over at the saw mill & Got permission

He then started taking about all the glass, & trash & said he thinks it was a dump,
but while mowing grass one day he found a small rubber purse with a buffalo & wheats in it.
and asked If I wanted him to mow that area for me. So I said yes, took a break till he mowed &
did that yet.

Still not anything worthwhile, Left with this pin or Belt buckle
as my only cool find ?





Not being ready to go home with just that, I remembered a spot DK mentioned he got
a few keepers one day we were hunting,
So I did U'eee & headed over there.



Was sore & not really Hyper

but Suited up & Started swinging.

1st. Dig



2nd. dig



4th. & 5th Digs

26 cents gas rebate



Packed up & Came home with a smile

Yeah, can't tell you how many times I am in a park and someone starts the lawnmower up.
I just walk to the other side of the park.

Cool Finds ... Big congrats !!!!

 

[okerraine]

I like the brooch. Are the stones real? I found one similar to yours a couple weeks ago. Not quite as fancy as yours.

 

[Tom Bigbee]

I can relate to those types of places where it looks like they brought in fill dirt from the towm dump, I would probably hit it again anyway.... at least once more.

 

[jeff of pa]

No idea on the stones, they appear to have a shiny coating on them,
that is cracking & coming off.
they are dull under the coating.

My Macro abilities don't help


but yes looks like the exact same size as yours.

Man what's up with all the mason jar lids? Nice Q.

 

[highnam]

In the pic with the mason jar lids there is the square metal plate in the lower left. I found a similar looking piece and it said "time" and "alarm" on it. Could have been an alarm clock.

 

[jeff of pa]

Yep Clock part
