Good morning ARC... how's the weather in Tampa Bay these days?
It's cold and snowy here in Southern Ontario, looks like it'll be a white Christmas this year.

Morning Anti.... Very good this past week.

Afternoon-say what 1pm- time seems to fly bye.
Got an appointment today for my Roosters to be done.
Just easier to get the bird place to the task.
Though it will give me 7 hrs to go and play in some dirt.

I would've thought the ground was already frozen in your part of our province Jim?
Best of luck if you're able to get your shovel in the ground.

Nope. This is my first and only account. I’ve lurked forever

Lurked forever ? ... according to your info you joined little more than a month ago.

Well Captain and my illustrious crew mates life calls....and its not the siren's song.
The 2 year old has a cold and it triggered his asthma which is getting worse so they are on the way to the hospital. Gonna be a long night.

I'm sure he'll be fine MsBB... kids are like rubber bands, they bounce back quickly.
Please let us know how he's doing.

My permission was lacking in much in regarding finds. Though enjoyed talking to the land owner and his wife while I gave them a hand with their Xmas tree business. I shall post my eh finds on "Today's Finds" once I get them presentable. Nothing all the exciting and most things came from my own land on the way back where I noticed they plowed the heck out of one of my favorite areas.

I've often found a freshly plowed field will often produce some very interesting eyeball finds John, especially after a heavy rainfall. Make sure you post a link to your finds from yesterday here.

I did indeed make some new friends. They apparently liked me enough that they asked for my number and asked if they could call me if they needed help ever and I of course said I would. Both are 81 and I value my community so of course I'm going to help.

You're a good man John, sounds like you've made some new/old friends.

Oh when they say the treasures come from some of the worlds most polluted waters-I'll pass
From walking by some waterways there, the odour could gag a maggot. (oh I'm hoping it's cleaner today )

Thanks Dave
It's not till this coming Monday, so I'm just crossing the fingers and hoping for some soft dirt.
I have obtained one permission from the last trip, and will go after another one this trip.

It definitely looks like Monday will be a decent day weather wise for you Jim.
You're overdue to find another GW Button too... best of luck to you!

I'm off to work, hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

I think that was a one off recovery for up in these parts.
Though that site has been in my mind (never really leaves) for a good dig everything/or just lease it and screen it out.
Where there was one, there must be 2-right?
Other finds Re: political significance related came from that site.
