Today was not a really great day for me. It was warmer but the winds were blowing 20-25 knots which made i t really cold. This afternoon, we went to some new land that our club just put under contract. About 20 years ago, as the story goes, a local detectorist found a gold Roman coin at this farm. The only problem, all these fields were in rough plow. I'm talking ankle busting rough ground with 12-14" differences in elevation as you try to walk through it. It was exhausting and we weren't finding enough good targets to make it worth the effort. That said, a few good finds were made.
CA George found a possible silver spoon. Mindy found a complete buckle with a lovely design on it. Bruce found three Greenies and a really unique candlestick that looks like it had been run over by a mack truck. AK George found a nice silver hammered coin. Clarence found a hammered silver James 1st penny (very pretty) and some greenies. I found junk..antique junk...modern junk....just plain junk. CA Dan did even better than me since he found a handy stack of hay bales and took a nap instead of tackling the rough plow field. Tomorrow is another day.
Tomorrow we have asked for a nice flat field that is easy to walk on. That is, if any of us can even walk at all tomorrow morning. I can already smell the scent of Deep Heat muscle rub wafting through the air. I will admit, the Baileys I am enjoying as I write this seems to be helping, too. At least, I don't care as much about all the aches and pains right now.
Good Night!
