Today was a Triple Gold Day!!! Unfortunately, none of them happened to be found by either of us. Mindy found a Celtic quarter stater this morning. That woman can cover more area on a field that anyone I have seen. Just before Clarence, Mindy, Sarah and I were piling the van for an early ride home at 6pm, Jim was yelling "Gold, Gold". He had just found his very first gold coin and what a nice one it is. Before the 8pm final pick up for the three hard core guys, Jim was again calling "Gold, Gold". Mike and Ron just looked at him in disbelief. What? Again? Seriously? In the same area of his gold coin, he found a gold puzzle ring. These are three gold bands interlocked that are worn stacked together. They are modern but gold is gold. Jim worked hard for both pieces of gold. He stayed in that one spot all day and didn't even come in for lunch. It sure paid off for him. We were all there after lunch, bottomfeeding where Mindy had found her gold this morning. Jim was the only lucky one to find gold at the end of his coil...twice!
Today was also prank day. Clarence had found a spun wire bracelet last Fall that looked very much like a Celtic arm torc*. We painted it gold and brought it with us. Today at lunch, Sarah (a self proclaimed good liar) pulled it out and told Mike and Ron she had found it in another field this morning. Mike was a little skeptical but Ron fell for it...at least until he picked it up. It just didn't have the weight of a gold torc. We all had a good laugh and I have the moment on video in my camera. We all had a great day with lots of laughter.
