I knew it was going to be a good day when I scooped up Paul Bunyan's diaper pin!
I was wandering the lake following a faint trail of old targets mixed in with 8,000 pop and pull tabs when I looked into my scoop and saw it.
Now I'm an old hand at this, I'm salty and jaded and I've seen the elephant and I've heard the owl.
But I have never seen an old brass safety pin that's longer than my hand.
So eat your hearts out North Woods Minnesota and Wisconsin peeps, I now have proof Paul Bunyan was born in Michigan!!!
Oh yeah, I found a gorgeous men's 5.8 gram 14k diamond ring too. Came in at an annoying 55 on my AT Pro just as crackly and hollow sounding as the 6,455 pop tabs I scooped before it. Sound and the readout was identical.
Thanks for looking! The diaper pin isn't for sale!! I'm keeping the ring too, it fits!
