April 8, 2012

Happy Easter!  We started our morning with French Toast then loaded up and headed out to the fields.  Not much traffic this morning at 7:30. We did a drive to check out a number of our fields to see what the conditions were.  It is about two weeks later in the Spring than we usually come here.  Many of the fields are already being planted with potatoes and onions which means they are now off limits to us.  We can still detect fields planted with wheat and other grain crops. Most of them are just 6-10" high and we can still push our coils through with a little extra effort.  No hammies today and only a couple of milled silver coins.  We hunted until 8pm today and only got rained on a couple of times.  Most of the day it was like a misty fog, cold and damp.  We just finished a late Easter dinner of locally fresh made pizza.  Now we are thinking about hot showers and bedtime.  The long days are beginning to take its toll on all of us, but we come here for the detecting and we want to get as many hours in as we can. 

No pedometer reading today.  Somehow it got set on "pause" and didn't register any of the 23 miles I"m sure I walked today.  I will try again tomorrow. Thanks for checking in with us.
