I went out to a campground yesterday and hunted for 5 hours (with about a 15 minute break to eat a sandwich). At the end of the hunt I was just staggering around and my arm and shoulder were killing me. When I got home, my wife told me I looked like I'd been in a coal mine disaster - my arms and face were so dirty. It was very hot yesterday, and it has been so dry here that the ground is very dry and lots of dust was getting stirred up. Between the sunscreen and sweating heavily, I was a magnet for the dust and dirt.
I found a bunch of cool stuff, but here are the highlights of the hunt. Two silver quarters - first silver for me in a LOOOOOONG time. I also found another really cool boy scout neckerchief slide - this one reads "GILWELL PARK SCOUT CAMP". A little research online and learned that Gilwell Park is a scout camp in London. So this neckerchief slide is a long way from its origin. I also got 3 wheaties, and a chinese (I think) coin that I'd love to know the age of.
