Finally had that moment where you dig that thing you'd never expect and it just makes you hoot and start talking to yourself. I was by myself (probabley a good thing too, but still wish the wife had been there to share my excitement. Hehe, she'll be in for a surprise when she gets home!) digging around a stretch of rocky field hoping for a few older coins, buckles, flat buttons or maybe if I was lucky another miniball since I'd found one there awhile back. Got a decent signal close to a large flat rock and spent a good while trying to get between the rocks where I figured maybe a nickel or button coulda settled. Started making a larger hole than I usually do trying to find the tricky bugger and started getting a bit frustrated at myself for not finding it. (really thinking about a pinpointer in the near future now, lol.) I was really getting discouraged and started thinking about that next hole that would shorely have something better in it when I decided to move the large flat rock beside the hole incase it was right near the edge of it. As soon as I moved it I seen a small piece of thin greenish metal. "Sweet" I thought, " Maybe a nice piece of ornate copper or something." Slowly brushed the dirt off it and pulled it out then the big US hit me. Lol, I immediately had to put it down and started making odd noises with my eyes bulging probaley. Hehe, what a feeling! Still seems a bit unreal. Never expected to find something like that there. Think its an ammunition box plate with the backing missing. Any good ideas on preserving it are really welcome. For me this is definitely my WOW moment so far. Amazing to be able to hold something like that and imagine how it got there. HH indeed!
And as an odd twist of fate it is also the 10th anniversary of the first date I had with my wife! Hehe, I guess that's my own anniversary gift to myself in a way. Next weekend is the 6th anniversary of our wedding so hopefully we'll both be able to get off work and maybe spend it together doing a few things together and maybe even be able to go dig together and find that next OMG moment together. And of course many more!
