So as you have all read already, we (Kermit, Mark, Neil and I) met up at the woods yesterday. It wasn't as much a day for me as it was for the others, but I still came out with an oldie or two. The highlights of the day include watching Kermit pull that 46 roosey from the mud pit, and of course the ancient condom incident (someone wasn't as lucky as he had anticipated!). It's funny, now that I think of it...the last person who touched that old condom tin is probably dead, yet the condom was still somewhat intact! Yeah, as soon as I identified it as such, I tossed it away and felt very dirty. That mud puddle never looked so inviting...
So this morning I had a couple hours to kill and decided to hit a couple ballfields. It has been awhile. The entire time I was out, I hadn't realized that my phone was still off from last night. Sorry to Olderactor and Neil for the missed calls...we'll get together again soon! Anyway, I was digging the usual clad and whatnot, trying to get at some deeper signals. I decided to check out this little corner of a park I have hit many times before. This corner is not used much, and there is little to no kiddie traffic, and I made a point to dig any good signal out of this little square as I could get. After a cent or two, I got this odd signal in the middle of the field. It was pretty bouncy, giving me numbers in the 30's-80's, but I couldn't get a pinpoint on it at all. The depth meter told me 7 inches, so, what the hell, I dug it. Had it not been for my pinpointer, I would not have found this most tiny sterling heart "pendant" (more like a pendant FOR a pendant). I was pleasantly surprised at the functionality of the M6. This was definitely something my Garrett could never do. It's not much, but it is my silver of the day, folks. I also dug one lousy wheat at the park in my God-blessed search for a silver Roosey dime (6 inches).
The wheats are 1945, 1926, and ?? (one was so crusted and green, we figured it was an IH. However, I can now make out a "Liberty", and it's not on a head dress!)
So...until next week, buh-buh-dee buh dee that's all folks.

p.s. The buffalo nickel is shown just for size comparison.

You still have a great group of finds! That Drover's medal is really nice, and those are some old wheats! There's history in that group!
