Words To Live By !
Wisdom can be found in the oddest of places. Kind of like treasure, you never know exactly where you’re going to find it or what exactly you are going to find. This week I found things I wasn’t expecting to find and some things in places I wasn’t expecting them to be in. One thing I did expect and did find, in abundance, was the heat! Oh My! To say that this week has been hot and humid is like saying that BP has a little leak problem down in the Gulf. Sheesh! It was HOT this week. It still is actually, and I’m about to go back to work where it’s even HOTTER if you can believe it. Well at least I got to get out and have a little fun this week on my days off. I tried to get out and do some detecting in the morning hours when it wasn’t quite so hot... I say “tried” but it still was a shade under sweltering even then. Oh it was hot in other ways too though. Hot as in finding LOTS of coins! BooYah! Two hunts, at the same park, including the tot lot.
This is the same park that I mention quite often that hosts the “Free Friday Flicks” (free outdoor movie showings). A lot of the finds on that end of the park aren’t necessarily made with my detector. My detector is good, but it still doesn’t pick up plastic very well. Yeah, a lot of the finds here are “eyeball” finds. Some of it is trash, and usually goes into the nearest garbage can, but some of it is neat and or entertaining. Thankfully though not all of the interesting finds are made by eyeball alone. The detector really does find stuff here too, especially coins, even if they aren’t UNDER the ground. Yes, hidden sometimes by only a few blades of grass there are lots of coins to be found on the movie hill. I am continually amazed at how many coins I still “DIG” up there however. As many times as I’ve detected here I still keep digging up coins. One that was detected this week, but not “dug up” was a nice big Kennedy Half Dollar! I DO LIKE THE BIG COINS! Of course it was a pocket spill, it was found with a handful of other coins. Not far from that spot however was one of the more amusing eyeball finds this week. Anyone recognize this face?
I keep finding these “freaky” or “silly” bands that seem to be all the rage recently. I only saved these two (the cross and the butterfly) as examples. They seem to come in hundreds of shapes. Something else that comes in hundreds of shapes and colors... Pull tabs ! Oh yeah... can’t have a complete hunt without finding a few of those. Of course there are other bits of metal “stuff” like that too.. clips, buttons, fishing tackle... FISHING TACKLE? Well there is a lake at the park, and people DO fish there.
It was back on the Movie Hill that I also found a few words of wisdom this week. Despite the heat, the humidity and the lack of time, or as much time as I’d have liked, I found a metal dog tag style promotional item that was given out to movie goers that weekend. I was surprised to only find one of them, but the words rang true. What do you think?
“Get out and Play!” Words to live by! And play I did. And find stuff I did. More stuff. I found some bling.
Just some kiddie bling this week, but it’s still fun to find. Also fun to find were the two classic automobiles! Ford Power baby! Torino ! and Thunderbird!
I found a key on the second morning, unfortunately it’s not a car key... <smile>
Also on the second day was a discovery of a more foreign nature. I’m not sure what nationality this coin is, but I suspect it’s from the United Kingdom... Great Britain.
... Oh and there was a wheaty found today too. (today is the second morning spent this week). 1958 Wheat Penny, wasn’t expecting that, but most assuredly was not expecting the two Pence Coin. Another pretty lady found this morning was a rather dirty Sacagawea Dollar Coin. Another rather nice Clink in the old finds bag to be sure. It wasn’t until I got home this afternoon and emptied out my finds bag that I discovered just how much coin I had found yesterday and today. Cha Ching!
Nearly fourteen bucks! Yeah, I covered gas money, and batteries. And I had fun.. and I “got out and played!” I hope you all get out and play a bit this week or this weekend. As always...
