Did the rain hold off for you yesterday Dave?

I mowed the lawn for the last time yesterday, put the mower away for the year. The one thing about living in an elevated, very heavy tree'd, home is that the lawn doesn't need mowing often. So it was a mulching of grass, pine needles, leaves. Now it has a organized look to the mess.
The pine trees are doing the yearly carpet of needles, takes a good many hours getting it off the lawn.
Bought a large backpack leaf blower a few years ago, one of the best investments I did. Raking is ok-but there are limits to time and energy spent doing the task yearly.

And pepper, pine pollen is very bad on the ole sinasus. I have to wear a mask while in the pines and again in the pecans.

Unfortunately, the rains moved in around 9:30am as I expected they would.
I did have enough time to investigate a 50' x 50' site the arkies dug years ago in a sheltered depression in the middle of a field, which would've originally been a forest.
I feel this was likely an early Native American settlement, as it was located within 500 yards of what would've been a major river thousands of years ago.

The iron signals were few except for the occasional square nail and piece of plow hardware.
I also got back to a recently disked site down the road and made some interesting eyeball finds, but not much in the way of non-ferrous finds.

Good morning Bill and Bart.

Having around 50 pines within a stone throw from the house I can validate the pine pollen time of the year also. Everything is yellow and this year it seemed a tad worse because of the lack of rain, and there seems to be a bounty harvest of pine cones as well. All in all they're kind of a dirty tree, pitch, pollen, needles dropping. I'd rather have spruce trees growing around the house, but at this stage od the game in life they'd be only little trees in the end.

At least you got out for awhile Dave. The finds are just a bonus to detecting sometimes.
I managed a hour on the property, few squashed leads, horseshoe, various sizes of shell casings/headstamps, and the various sizes of square nails/spikes.
(My reward pre-lawn mowing)
