LOL, so I am going through old files to delete or save. I come across this poem I started. Omg it’s kinda corny but I will post it.


A Digger Is Born

We bought a 40 acre farm
Overgrown with weeds and not much charm

A dilapidated barn we had torn down
burned the remains and buried it in the ground

Dug a pond and built a barn and a house that is the best
And out the window we can see 40 souls who have been laid to rest

So in the spring we went out to seek
And what should we find but a bottle in the creek

Every year I would return
For a bottle freed by the waters churn

I was bit by the digger bug you see
And all other hobbies were dropped by me

I asked Santa for a metal detector one year
He was happy to be able to bring me cheer

So I swung and I swung and it went,”Beep beep.”
But all I could find was trash in the deep

Fence And fence posts, glass and nails
But still little clues to this farm's tales

I got discouraged and put it aside
And went back to searching the waters tide

So I found a bottle I wanted ID’d
I took to the Internet to see

Treasurenet is where I found the information
I became a charter member without any hesitation

And as I shared about myself
I told of my detector sitting on a shelf

I got my first p.m. on that day
A member said, ”Don’t give up!Keep swinging away!”


ROFL that’s as far as I got.

I hit the jackpot at the local gun shop today! He had a bunch of military surplus items in there dropped off by an unappreciative owner. This Swiss M1957 bayonet for the Sturmgewehr 57 rifle was sitting right on top of the pile, and I snatched it up for $45. There were other items there that I have my eyes on including MP40 magazines, 1944 marked U.S. ammunition and a WWII Practice artillery shell round.

I also came home to a package of arrowheads that came in the mail. Those will be posted Monday when I come back from work.
