And Probably Twice as Many Thorn Bites in the same time ;D

I got Down to the OLD Twin Grove Park Today.
First time in about 5 Years.

I found the Bottle Dump, I believe. There were Bottles & Glass Everywhere sticking partially out the ground.
It's Gonna Take Time to I.D. THEM.

I also Found Out what 5 years of Growth can do.
Back then I could Walk up to the Pool And See the Sidwalk, The Fence Standing In the Back, The Cement Bottom of the Pool With Rebar Sticking Out The Cement, ETC.
After Searching For What Seemed Like Hours,Weaving In & Out Of Thorns, Walking in Circles, Crawling on My Knees, Etc. I came to It. What A shock.
It looks Like A Natural Hole in the Ground.

I was Able to Find the Ticket Booth & Concession. And Right Against theCement Foundation, at About 3" deep MAX. I found 53 Cents.
2 Washington Quarters 1941 & 1944
3 Wheat Cents 1941 , 1946 & 1946

That's it U see it? Foreheads on your left and chin or beard is to the right
See the nose and eyes looking at you?
 

YEP, I'll Have to Check that out, I know it's Just a Break in the Cement Slab, But I'll have to Look & see IF it Can Be Seen By the Naked Eye :)
 

Just in case you don't make it back. Can i have your detector?

Probably the camera caught it just right along with shade from the sun.

But keep an eye out for Rod Serling just in case. And if you start to hear any strange music.
I'll leave it to your discretion.
 

Wow! I see the face. It took me a while but all of a sudden it just popped out. It reminds me of when I was a kid, we would drive across the Lake Ponchartrain bridge (26 miles long) and you either looked at a lot of boring water or you looked at the clouds and made faces out of them. I chose the latter.
 

Awesome finds Jeff, and with all those thorn injuries I call that true dedication to the hobby! Can't wait to see what else you find!

vicki
 

Thanks All ; :)

Vic, I think I found a Preventative for Thorns,

I have a Thin WHITES Jacket.

It's NOT Cotton it's NYLON.

The Temp tomorrow Morning in The Woods Should Be Comfortable EVEN with this Jacket on.

I T H I N K The Thorns Won't Grab Nilon, Like they Do COTTON or FLESH.

I'll Let Ya Know ;)
Jeff
 

And I thought I had a vivid imagination. All I see is a BFR! JIM
 

Just noticed the face is in the arm picture too. The pic before the hand shot. Looks like it was taken from a little different angle.
Dang!! Giving myself chills.
Guess i better not tell you about the other face in the hand pic. The profile of a mans face that's a foot to the left of the original and about eight inches above the slab. He's looking to his right, your left. Different face but same proportions. The biggest light spot is his forehead and the smaller light spot several inches directly below is his chin. And in between you can see his brow, his left eye, his nose and even his lips. If you see that, then over his forehead you can see his hair as well.
Gee I wonder what else i could see if i used drugs. eerie. HH
 

You guys are driving me crazy! I have stared at this thing for hours and I don't see anything but a rock Maybe it's because you guys are aliens? Or maybe I'm an alien and don't know it? Maybe the rock contains an alien form of life
that onl reveals itself to cartain people? Naaah, Probably not! JIM
 

LOL The one he outlined is lying on what would be it's right ear and staring directly at the camera. I wish i knew how to out line like he did. Then i would point out the features.
By the way. You haven't seen my buddy MOTT from Mars any where around here, have you? Well, until we talk again earthling. HH
 

Was There Today. Didn't Take a PIC but Absolutely No way to see the Face.

Either I sobered up, or the Aliens Left Jim? :P

Or it's a Trick of the CAMERA.

MABY this will help you see it JIM? ;)

By the way It's A Large SLAB of Cement From The Wall or Base Of a Swimming Pool.
? so It ISN't Carved.
