Still waiting on the fields to be cut and the snakes to go and hide. But we did manage to get out a couple two or three times and while away a few hours.
First pic of finds are from several weeks or so ago...the folks were having a swimming pool installed and we found a few keepers from there. A buckle, tax token of course, and a 1946 rosie.
Next hunt, we made the rounds to see what had been cut. Two of three fields were in the process of being cut, but the field we wanted to be in is sort of a waste field and the owner doesn't spend a lot of time keeping it cut. He arrived there just before we did and the usual question from him was, "You girls out prospecting today?" We told him that we were just making the rounds and came by to see if field 'a' had been cut. He instructed us to chase down the worker he had and get him to cut where we needed. What a great guy he is! Well we did...and he did.
Only problem was....we didn't think about it needing to be bailed, so we were kinda walking around in piles of grass hoping we didn't step on a snake. :P Sure did appreciate him taking the time to cut it tho.
Left there and went down to the Mulberry river. Nothing there but the view. It was a nice one...
Several days later, next hunt. An old site across the dirt road from the fields. Ended up with a tax token, a button, my first dollar coin (thought I had found an old token at first sight), and something with Ford A on it. Seems to be made of lead?
Last Wednesday we went back to the fields. They had finished up with one of them and we settled there for a couple of hours.
Ended up with three wheats, 20's 30's and 40's, a five cent tax token and the normal aluminum tax tokens and an AJ Tower button.
Also found this strange rock? When I first got the signal and dug the hole I had seen what I thought was a neat looking rock, but after checking the hole again, the signal was gone. Sure enough, it was coming from the rock. What could this be?
Leaving that afternoon, we came upon this pretty site...Lucky for us Lisa had her camera within reach and got some great pictures.....
Not much for finds, but I did so enjoy getting out and taking in the scenery.
Have a great week and find somethin' good!
