Dave,

Your button with the shamrock could possibly be an Irish Guards button.

Get that mask on Dave so you can get that chore list done. Then get out a beeping, so you can send me a pic of something brown or green-please.

You're kinda bossy.

Good morning, pepper. Thanks for the beautiful pics!

"Thanks ARC. I actually woke up with a pounding headache this morning.
All I can think is that I must've been dehydrated from detecting for 5hrs yesterday without any water."

Everyone PLEASE help our buddy Dave out and post up ideas of water bottle carriers BECAUSE:

"I'm leaving, it's getting hot and my water bottle is back in the truck."

Do you remember the hat/helmet that held a can of beer on each side with tube/straw to drink it? How about converting it to holding water bottles?

I have found a lost treasure legend right in my "neighborhood." I can't believe it. I have had this local history book for several years now. I bought it to see if there was anything in there about this farm or the people who lived on it. I picked it up last night to scan through it again. Here's what I found:

" Shortly thereafter all of those tribes moved west. A story has been passed down that a year or so after the last Indians left this area, a young brave on a pony, rode in from the west. He stayed at the *********** farm looking for silver coins which his people had robbed from earlier settlers. These coins were supposed to be buried at the base of a tree. He rode back to the west, after a week or so, with an empty saddlebag. "

So, I look up a map to find this farm. My guess (hey this is new for me, so lots of room for error) is there is about 30-50 years between when the Indians moved west and when the map was made. There are a couple of farms right next to each other with that name. I am thinking maybe heirs split the farm. There has been development of course over these nearly 200 years. But, I have never heard this story before or any story of coins being found. I figured out that my older grandsons' other grandma currently lives on a fraction of one of these farms. Sounds like a place to start, don't you think? She is not real fond of us, but if I include the boys, she might be willing to give us the go ahead to look.
