Donuts, Margarita's & Good Friends...oh and some CW finds. ;)

Wow! What a perfect NC weekend! So our buddy Jack....I mean Doug invited me over for a tad of hunting for a few days with some of the best Tnetter's around. He had promised me that he had single handedly removed all the ticks and snakes from the great state of North Carolina, so I was good to go. :icon_thumright: Just for precautions we prepared for the worst and hoped for the best. :tongue3:

Of course we had to take time to eat a few donuts. Rob had stopped by and had his truck loaded with every kind of donut that Krispy Kreme ever invented and Lanie's famous coffee cake. What was a girl to do? You know I couldn't turn him down.

So after the breakfast snack we took off to find the treasures. I found a train button, two wheats, a barrette and few other odd and ends and it was time for the next spot.

Here I find a nice 1899 Injun, a spoon and a neat pewter top to something and a harmonica reed.
Donut break. OH and a nice BBQ dinner that evening. :wink:

Next morning we get to the new spot....step out of the truck....and on to a....SNAKE!!!? What!! DOUG! But you promised! :o I thought I was going to die when he strolled over, picked up the snake and tossed it back into the ivy. :-X :o :D I can tell ya right now, I ain't never seen no tan garter snake.
What? Another donut? Sure. Thanks, Rob! ;D
We spent the next few hours hitting the CW site that MM had found. Bubba gets in on a hot spot and I can hear him hollering, "Hey Nana! Come over here!" I made my way to see what he had found and he insisted that I dig right there. Sure enough, big ole fat bullets! I dug two and shared with others that wanted to dig 'em. Thank you so much, Bubba! :icon_pirat: I ended up with four CW bullets and a little flat button and a bunch of other stuff.

Re: Donuts, Margarita's & Good Friends...oh and some CW finds. ;)

Now that looks like a great bunch of people!So glad you got to NC and some really terrific finds,especially the donuts and margaritas.Loved the pics!
 

Re: Donuts, Margarita's & Good Friends...oh and some CW finds. ;)

Thanks Nana. I had a fantastic time with all of you too and you are welcome any time. You are the best! :thumbsup:

A few extra tidbits to add:
That was a nightcrawler not a snake. :tongue3:
Those were Colonial socks that Dickie and I were wearing. ;D
Those were fat-free donuts. They threw in the fat for free. :thumbsup:

I'm glad you & Charlie had a good time. Sorry it was so far to drive. Next time we'll hit Quindy's house. LOL.

Here are a few more pictures Andy took.

Folks,
I must tell you. Don't let Nana fool you. She can drink eat burp detect with the best of them. I think her and Floyd are related, because those two are diehard detectorists. They are like relic hound dogs, I kid you not. ;D

Looking forward to our next get-together.

Since Dman and I couldn't be there Nana, I'm sure glad that you could be there to keep that wild group in check and Charlie to act as "Bouncer"-LOL. That hunt contained some of the best detectorists on the East Coast. You made some nice finds and found the oldest coin too. You go girl, Q.
 

Re: Donuts, Margarita's & Good Friends...oh and some CW finds. ;)

So was that one of those all inclusive pay to detect gigs? Looks like it was a bargin, where do I sign up for the next one? ???
 

Re: Donuts, Margarita's & Good Friends...oh and some CW finds. ;)

Class A story Nanna! Again, I am blessed to have friends like all of you. Thank you Doug for everything you did. Next time we will bring the whole clan over. LOL Either that, or we could all stay in a wet tent....NOT ;D Maggie said hello, and Sammie gives you all a raspberry. :D :laughing9: I can't wait for MM#2 :headbang:

It didn't cost us anything. Doug supplied the spots, food, prizes, and gifts. It was a great time for all. Good friends & good times. Heck, he even picked up everyone's gas tab and hotel! Toilet paper sadly, was not included.

Nana - so glad you and Charlie made it out! You certainly gave us all a lesson in detecting determination...lol You and Floyd could open a school for us all... :icon_thumright:
 

Re: Donuts, Margarita's & Good Friends...oh and some CW finds. ;)
