This is Spring? Are we sure of that? Our high today was 38F with 20-25 knot winds . It was brutally cold out all day. Some of us found a lower corner of a field that was somewhat shielded from the wind. It was almost tolerable. Except for a few tough souls, namely CA George, AK George and Bruce, we found shelter in the van with the heater running for a good chunk of the afternoon. Joe and Jeanette, our new friends from Malta, stayed out in the cold and made some interesting finds. The rest of the group headed back to the house early to clean our finds and get ready for dinner.
After dinner, Joe and Jeanette came over to show us pictures of their life in Malta before they head home tomorrow. It is a beautiful island in the Mediterranean but all metal detecting is illegal there. The wonderful part of these detecting trips to England is making new friends from all over the world.
I was lucky to have found a couple of special finds today. I found my first toy cannon, about two inches long. I also have a mystery item. It is bronze and appears to have a face on either side of it. We don't know yet what it is but guesses so far are part of a pair of scissors or the trigger of a rifle. At any rate, it is very old. I will keep you posted on what the decision is.
Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be worse than today. Is that even possible? If so, Clarence, Mindy and I will probably take the day off and stay home. I only brought three long sleeved t-shirts (it IS Spring, you know) so doing a bit of laundry tomorrow might be a good idea.
Good night!
