Yesterday's Finds with a surprise!!! (Snake!! not relics!)

So.. after spending all day saturday cleaning out out three cars.. washing..waxing... vacuuming.. everthing... and then spending most of sunday painting my workshop/old tavern.. including some of the ceiling always a pain with a bad neck and back..I figured an hour or so out digging was in order. i went out to one of the only cut fields i could find. Same spot I dug a nice Virginia one piece button and cape pin last year... I have been there 20 minutes or so... just got the DFX with the 12" coil humming along with out picking up too much interference.. popped a nice little .41 bullet out and then an interesting piece of iron, any idea what it is?? When my cell phone rang.. "YOU HAVE To COME HOME RIGHT NOW!!!" .. All I can make out is.. "Snake... snake..bathroom.. come home" soo... off I go... Now yes.. I understand snakes in the house are not the best thing, but it was JUST a blacksnake.. and a little one at that!! Considering I found 5 or 6 in the house when I was restoring it.. did't seem like that big of a deal to me.. but I guess that is based on perspective!! ;-) Glad I never told her about the other ones have found since we moved in!!! ;-)

Hope you didn't kill the snake, Those black snakes are good to have around the house they keep the poisonous ones away!

No.. never... I was "forced" to take them far, far away for a while.. then we started getting Copperheads.. sooo the Blacksnakes stay now ;-)

I'm more of a "kill 'em all, let god sort them out" kinda fella...maybe not a popular opinion, but mine, nevertheless....If I am in the woods, I let them be, but in my house? I don't think so....i would have ran out screaming like a schoolgirl!
