Day Seven Part Two

Part of visiting any foreign country is meeting the locals. Mindy had a neat experience this afternoon. She sat down at the edge of the upper field to rest a while. She soon heard a man's voice calling to her from the house near the field. " Would you like a cup of tea?" he asked. She responded and he brought out a cup of tea for her. The two sat there and visited while she enjoyed her tea. Mindy told him she would be back in October and was told to just come knock on the back door anytime and he and his wife would be happy to brew up a pot of tea for her. He was quite interested in what we do and how we work with the museums. He already knew the land owner had given us permission to detect on his land and probably gets a kick out of watching us detecting in all kinds of weather. We do our best to be entertaining as well as good ambassadors for this hobby. Chance encounters like this one just make your day.

This was another great trip. We can't wait for the next one in March, 2011 where we are going to detect for two weeks instead of one. Thank you for reading along during our latest adventure.
