Mosquitoes chased us out of our favorite state park dog walking trail the other day. We thought the city would offer us refuge from the onslaught. Never had a reason to be thankful for mosquitoes before. Our meanderings led to torn up street construction that had proven fruitful before. We spied newly open ground and very quickly whisked our poor dog companions back toward the car so we could take them home to “rest” while we hastened back to the street to see what we might find. A few hours later, we headed back to the pups feeling richly rewarded. ( at least one of us anyways[emoji57]) Day one started out with 1898 Barber quarter hit, followed by a metal “charge a plate” (did research and discovered it was an early aluminum credit card with owner’s name and address imprinted on it) found a bit later. Both of us found wheat pennies, before I happened upon a sweet hit that turned out to be a 1903 S Barber half. Partner feeling distinctly unlucky at that point. That feeling only heightened after I found what we are fairly sure is a woman’s gold pocket watch. ( taking it to local watch repair to have it opened and verified soon) She made me stay longer hoping to find something, but then I found a 1901 Indian head penny. Finally time to go home to the pups. Day two minor payback for her, she found 1883 Indian and 1935 mercury dime. Talked to workers, will be closing street soon and are done for th
e year.
