Yesterdee, Poking Froze Dirt fer a Diamond Ring, Taday, Relic Huntin in tha 70's

That’s right!

Yesterday I was at tha girls softball complex chopin froze dirt
with my new digger I made.

2-5-2.jpg


2-5-3.jpg


I tried around tha dug-outs, but tha rootless ground was harder
than ice.

So I decided to hunt tha grass where tha parkin lot slopes off
at tha edge.

This was easier at dig, but it was solid tabs.

2-5-7.jpg


I was cold and tired. I was cleanin out a spot with multiple
signals, and look what came out!

2-5-8.jpg


Tha diamonds are real. Don’t know what tha red stones are.

2-5-10.jpg


Now that made my day. I am still charged up about that ring.

My new digger is tha best hand digger I have ever used.

One day later,

They were callin for warmer weather, so I took a nap and at
11:00am I was relic huntin at one of my spots down tha road
from my house. It’s under construction, but tha work seems
to have come to a stand still.

I was itchin at get tha Vaquero cranked up.

I got a shock right out of tha car. My first target was a tab signal.
I thought, “well here we go again”.

But look what came out of tha ground.

Fresh dug:

Cleaned up:

Usually, I have a hard time finding more stuff when something
like that happens.

So I buckled down and got in a zone.

Then I found my only coin for tha day. A 1921 wheaty.

2-6-9.jpg


Then I found this old farm implement.

2-6-2.jpg


2-6-7.jpg


Well, I seemed to be doin alright.

And then I got a trashy iron signal. But something said dig???

Lookie what I found,,,,,,,,Heee Heee,

2-6-3.jpg


2-6-12.jpg


OK, what’s next???

How about a brass belt buckle????

2-6-10.jpg


Not bad, hugh???

Now I find a lead what’s-it with a paten number. I will have to
clean it some more before I can read tha number.

2-6-11.jpg


Here’s tha mess. Some of it didn’t make it this far. I chunked
some of it in a construction debris pile.

2-6-4.jpg


Here’s some I cleaned a little.

2-6-13.jpg


By 2:00pm, I was off to lunch before pikin up tha kid.

Now, That was a lot warmer, hugh?

Thanks for comin along on my Arkie Relic Hunt,
