A 4" condom and a 5" goat!

This is the day that should have been the "odd day at the park." I was digging many of my good foil signals.....hoping for a little gold, but, instead, I came up with a condom on the end of my digging knife from 4" deep. Needless to say, I was just a tad surprised. Apparently, it was dropped when new and I messed up the foil wrapper when digging. I am amazed that such a thing could sink that deep. I didn't bring it home, so, no pics (I'm sure that breaks the heart of many of you!). I did, however, find a goat at just over 5" deep. It is a plastic goat, but, it came in with a great 72 VDI from a dime that was neatly tucked between its' little front legs!

I hit some interesting items:

A 4 hour hunt and $3.57 in clad......not quite a $1/hr. Will have to talk to B.O. about this minimum wage stuff!!

I picked up an odd signal that was jumping from 72 to 95 with just a slight movement of the coil, maybe an inch at the most. When I swung 90° from there I just got the 95 signal. I dug the 72 and got my dime that was sitting about an inch away from a soda can. This F75 is a super machine!
The "38 GearUp Hunter" thingy appears to be the spoiler off of a gas powered R/C car.
Thanks for looking in and HH to all!

Re: A 4" condom and a 5" goat!

Given the position of the dime and the subject matter it was positioned in - kinda looks like it might have been a sacrificial burial to get rid of a curse.
not sure I would have taken that dime home with me.

I believe that would have been a sacrificial "lamb"........not a goat. Besides, I saved the goat.......that puts me in the clear.

Krazyhorse........that was diameter!

Generic.....where did you come up with "groat?"

I do need to start taking my camera with me!

Roland,
Classic title! :thumbsup:
We find a lot of sheep and condoms around these parts of NC, but not too many goats. :laughing9:
Great post. You made my day. :thumbsup:
-MM-

P.S. As far as.... "I am amazed that such a thing could sink that deep."
I won't go there. :o ::)
 

Re: A 4" condom and a 5" goat!

Nice Title :laughing7:

Perhaps the goat and dime were a Sacrificial Bury or offering to the infamous Chupacabra... ;D

Dang! I read this post hoping to find one of my kin folk but, I think Uncle Bucky was riding a horse named Dollar not a goat with a condom hoping to get lucky with a dime.

I feel so dirty now :laughing7:.

Certainly interesting finds.
 

Re: A 4" condom and a 5" goat!

Thats what I like about tot-lots/parks,,,,never know what your gonna find!

A groat is a historic English (and Scottish) coin worth 4 pence that are occasionally dug up and worth quite a bit.

I hope I made the point that the 'condiment' had obviously been lost unopened and unused!.......otherwise, I would have had to buy a new digger!! I had to laugh at your "P.S."........that would give a whole new meaning to 'ground pounder.' ::)
 

Re: A 4" condom and a 5" goat!

Please tell me the condom wasn't for the goat.
That would be wrong.
