It was beautiful here in Michigan this weekend. Unfortunately, I had to attend funeral proceedings Thursday thru Saturday for my relative, 32 years old, who passed away suddenly earlier this week. So very sad it was. 
This morning I did manage to get out and hunt two schools. After the hunt, a long hard day out there, lots of digging, I came home and took a nap. After that, I got up and went grocery shopping. After I finished shopping, I went out to my truck to load my groceries and in the shopping cart caddie near my truck, I noticed a purse that someone had obviously left in their cart by mistake. I stood around for a while but no one came to claim it. I snached it up and headed back inside. As I was walking in, I took a peak inside and it was a nurses purse. There was a checkbook, about a dozen credit cards, and a wallet with some cash in it... don't know how much. I took it to the Service desk and turned it in intact and didn't steal any of the lady's stuff. The gal at the service desk said a lady had just called a few minutes ago all frantic asking if anyone had turned in her purse. She left her number so the gal was going to call her. I was glad to be able to help another person out today and I am sure she was relieved to get it back. I did not have my camera, so no photo of the purse, sorry.
I had a fun hunt this morning. The weather was perfect. Maybe the last hunt of the year, you never know this time of year for us. It is supposed to snow here this week, so I was really glad to get out. The first school was mostly a bust. I did mange one bent up ring hallmarked 925, with a flower design and a few coins. The second school was great. The woodchips were so so but there was a lot of nice grassy areas to cover, Several soccer fields. It was an older school, 1950's I think so I was finding some nice older items. Lot's of digging but it was worth it, tons of targets, coins, and goodies. I got another ring hallmarked Sterling, a signet type ring with no initial. Also popped out two silver coins, a 1962D quarter and a 1944 Mercury dime and 9 wheatbacks. One religious medallian also. Lot's of cool keepers today!!
Another cool find was a large German coin found on one of the soccer fields. A 2 Mark coin from 1974, a commemorative coin about the size of a half dollar, that says 1949-1969 on the front.
.........
So I hunted about 7 hours total and dug a lot of stuff.
250 coins for a face value of $22.60. Only 100 pennies plus 54 quarters and 57 dimes.
My coin total today put me over the 9000 coin mark for the season!!
Other finds included 3 junque rings, a few pendants/fobs things, two cub scout neckerchiefs, some cool older things, and a really interesting pocket knife thing. I also got 3 other foriegn coins including a chinese one.
All in all, a great day today. Lots of smiles!! I hope yours was a good one too, thanks for reading. HH!!
