Ok, so I already know that Hallowen has passed, but this post is about the hunt I made on that frightening Friday. So grab your masks and your goody bags and we'll go a trick-or-treatin.
First off, I must beg pardon for taking so long to get around to making this post in the first place. A week ago yesterday (last monday), was NOT a good day for me. Almost late for work, short handed at work be it from sickness or vacations or simply poor management, getting more work piled up on me than I could safely or even realisticaly finish by my boss. Oh yeah.. and my dear wife's repeated requests to fet out the Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations. I was in a bad mood already when I got home from work, dirty, tired and frustrated. Well after I took a shower I went to the garage to fetch the step ladder so that I could gain entry into the attic and bring out the decorations. As the last box was lowered to the floor, the ladder got scooted a bit. I yelled down for my wife to"HOLD THE LADDER".. what she heard was " I'm coming down the ladder." Well my right foot caught the top of the ladder, but it slipped and the ladder toppled over, BANG! putting a hole in the wall.Oh I didn't fall, far anyway. I caught myself on the lip of the access, with just my legs and feet hanging down. Val moved the ladder back under me and I climbed back down.. and NOT in a good mood! Seeing the hole in the wall *explicatives deleted* I kicked the ladder.. which fell over in the other direction and put a hole in THAT WALL TOO! ARRGH! Then I punched at the hole(s) and simply made them bigger.. while venting a little steam. And then the argument began! Needless to say, the decorations did NOT go up that night. Didn't sleep that much that night either.
Well tempers did eventually simmer down and appologies made.. but by that time it was just WAY too late for me to try to get any sleep before going to work the next day. So, I called in a vacation day and used the day to repair the holes in the wall(s). I didn't get to go detecting that Tuesday, but I did get out that Friday, morning and afternoon. Friday morning early. Val (my wife) and I went out to Jacobson Park where they have one of those HUGE wooden "Imagineering" tot lots. I found a couple of dollars in clad, a toy truck, and some pull tabs.. oh yeah.. and a GOLD RING!!! I was on the opposite side of the tot lot's structures so my wife didn't see my rendition of the Chicken Dance <grin> The ring looks to be a class ring from "Stanton Prep College" The year of 1988 making this ring some 20 plus years old.
DANG IT ALL!!!! I hit the wrong freakin' key and this post got lost.. everything after the first picture. I'm in too much pain to type it all in again so it will either have to wait or you can make up your own stories for the pics of my other finds. Sorry gang.
Happy Hunting
