Did the dues today and knocked off at 2:30 to go for a little hunt. I did a right turn instead of the directed left turn off the trail on top of the ridge=I didn't find the rectangular stone foundation rock.
Buddy called me and said they saw me in the field and that's when I found out I took the wrong ridge. :dontknow:
Oh well I never detected these two fields I walked through, turned up a few targets of lead, melted brass, broken decorated teaspoon handle. Just enough not to get excited or bored for 1.5 hr swing.
Just looking at the Thursday45F/Friday 55F and sun in the forecast=forecasting some hunting time needed.

This area definitely sounds promising Jim, sounds like there must've been a homestead nearby. :icon_scratch:
I'll get out again on Thursday, my wife wants to use the car to take her Mom to an outdoor mall in Ajax on Friday.


Morning Dave
How's the little dust mop making out?

Oh that puppy phase is taking a toll on our shoes and the backs of our ankles... as we try to run away from her! :laughing7:
She's a good girl though, but I'll be very happy when our little 'pee & poop machine' stops doing her business on our front door mat.

I'm only going to say open the front door and let her out>:dontknow:

Oh I don't know if there is actually a homestead near by as the one place burnt and it sat close to the present barn.
It might be a case of the manure being scooped up and the finds spread out in the field.
In the spring the cows are going nearly to their chests some years if it's wet enough.
Then in the summer it looks like a flat surface barn yard almost. No wonder finds are deep sometimes and others are on the surface.
It's where we keep our cows (600acres) and it borders on the GW Button site, and the property borders a long stretch of water on the lake. (I'm still wanting the piece of trade silver)
So I put in the hours between 4 different permissions in hope of finding something one day.
 

Good morning ARC, Dave, Jim, Rook & WD.

Rook since the main course is turkey probably a nice Chardonnay on ice would do the trick. An for those who prefer red a nice Bordeaux to warm you up.

And for those who don't partake maybe some spiced up apple juice punch.
 

Good morning, Bill. I will have to try one each of the Chardonnay and Bordeaux, cleansing the palate in between, of course.
 

Good morning WD....and crew!!
 

Morning Bart
Did the seaweed get washed out yet-or just no time to play?
 

I went yesterday and checked the cut and not much had happened down south....or let's say alot of sand moved but not alot of finds. Got a bunch of wheats and another 41 silver quarter. Nothing spanish or of any real age. Waiting on some sand movement.....things are still settling at the beaches. Looking back at my hurricane finds.....its about a month after that I start getting spanish coins. Cold front is coming tomorrow with 30+ mph winds. Still waiting for a wind shift. Summer is dragging on down here with these storms.

I guess it's the glass half/empty thing going on there also.
Around here we wait for the crops to come off, or hay to be cut in the fall.
That leaves a short window to hunt before the freeze up-especially if they do corn for BTU sales.
It can come off in the winter freeze up-then the planting can happen early spring-so the window of opportunity closes.
The harvesting of a early crop-then replanting of a winter wheat can cut the window down to a few days.
Many times I miss the opportunity by a day or two-but I know it will be an early site for the next season.:headbang:
 

Just bought a 23lb from Winn Dixie for $9.00.

What time will it be done... will bring stuffing. ... mashed potatoes... and Rum of course.

:P
 

II smoke it the day before, put in in around 9 in the morning, keep the heat up all day, then take it out around midnight.
I use soaked mesquite chunks on top of charcoal during the first 6 hours, which impart a sweet smoked taste to the turkey.
