Got up this A.M. to the sun shining and the birds chirping....while having a fine cup of joe I was thinking that the day would be best spent out in a field...the missus suggested that the lawn could not wait another day...now I like mowing the lawn about as much as I like getting the glove during my annual physical so I argued that long grass was better for the environment which I thought sounded entirely plausible...she was unimpressed so out to the garage I went.
Once finished with that lovely task she suggested we go hunting (yep I certainly married a keeper
)
So we jumped in the truck and headed out to the field where we found our large cent...
We put ye olde garrett ace 400 in relic mode and started sweeping. We decided to dig every signal that sang out.
One of my few intelligent ideas was carrying a bucket so as to not weigh down my pouch with heavy iron. It was not long before I had to take the bucket to the truck to empty it. But amongst the junk we did manage some good finds.
1863 IH very toasted
Wheat cent toasted and paper thin
Old chinese coin
An ornate top to something
A buckle
And a rich vein of can slaw previously undiscovered (putting that towards my retirement)
And one severely sunburnt neck and backside of a bald head.
