Baldingboy and I finally got out and hunted for a short time. He has been busy lately with his French Manicures and his perms, a phase I thought we were long over with. Last time I asked him to go hunting he said something about a Brazillian wax, I do NOT even want to try and picture that! 
We tried to hunt Wednesday but got rained out within 30 mins of starting so we made plans to meet up and hunt for a couple of hours in a new location. We show up and before we can even get our detectors out of the cars, 30 mph winds start blowing and the rumbling of thunder can be heard.
Not to be denied we went ahead and hunted. It was some pretty iffy weather to be hunting in. In my opinion when you see a streak of lightning and you hear it on your headphones, you are too close and you need to go inside. But BB is an avid outdoorsman and he swore we were perfectly safe. I believed him because he is my friend, or least I think he is........
Anyway, the location we were hunting has obviously been hunted before because all we were really finding was lots of junk, pulltabs, occasional pennies and then I got lucky and hit an area with 9 wheats. The area was about 30 feet in diamter and right smack in the middle of this area I dug up a 45 Merc, in pretty decent shape.
A few swings later got the 2nd Battalion, 31st Field Artillery Pin, that dates from 1960 to present according to my searches.
A hose bib, a big piece of iron and a small decorative piece that may have gone on a belt buckle was pretty much it for the rest of the night.
Not a great hunt but not to bad either.
Thanks for looking. Oh do you think it means anything that I found a copy of my life insurance policy in BB's hunting bag
I wonder how that got there?
