In the usual haunt today.
This was our first find
That's the biggest Garter snake I have ever seen. It was about 30" long by my estimate.
Then I found this...
The wife found a 9 wheaties and a military dog tag. That's the 2nd one we have found! I went for about an hour with nothing but a penny and some trash Then found this...
Found a couple of 40's nickles that are in bad shape and a few more wheaties. Then this sterling ring popped up. It is smashed pretty badly but it's silver.
The gold ring is a 1952 class ring from nearby Bladensburg High School. You can see in the following pics that there are also initials inside. When I took it out of my pocket at the end of the day I found that it had broken but I hope it can be fixed. I emailed the Bladensburg Alumni group and asked them if they could help me find the owner.
Here's the dog tag my wife found...
So why did I mention a man on a stretcher?
It's kind of weird to find it along with the dog tag. I felt like that after this hunt. It was a long 5 hours in 40 degree weather.
I am beat!
