V-Day weekend

[twistidd]

I'm glad to hear a lot of you guys were able to get out this weekend, and I'm floored by all of the great finds you've all made. Yesterday of course was Valentine's Day, so no digging for this boy! I took the lady on a surprise dinner cruise in Lake Michigan aboard the Mystic Blue. Man, what great food! Good music and dancing, too.

Anyway, I wanted to head out for a while this morning so I called Kermit and Mike to see what they were up to. Kermit wanted to check out an older area he had studied on some older aerials, and Mike was busy with his work, so it was just the Dynamic Duo for the day. The area we headed to was what one might call a bust. Between the two of us, two newer wheats, a memorial, a 1995 dime, and a lot of trash. We then headed to a nearby park where we finished off the day with some more clad, and a 1959 Jeff. I also found some tiny piece of a clasp that's marked sterling but it's so tiny, you could barely read it. Oh well! Mike, you didn't miss much.

My best finds came yesterday, when I checked the CoinStar like always and found 22 dimes, 87 pennies, and two nickels in the reject bin. All clad, but three wheaties: 1938, 1941, and a nice 43 steelie.

I'm looking forward to catching up with you guys, finding all the nice stuff. Take care, all.

Sweet finds Joe. Silver is silver... no matter how small. Amazing you found something so small, isn't it? Obviously you did great at the Coinstar machine too (sweet steelie!)... I never find anything in those reject bins. At least you got out today... and for that I commend you on a job well done!

Glad you had a good cruise, Joe!

Wheats & a steel penny in the CS machine? Nice!

Great finds bud, I still want to hit that place up again once the snow all melts and I get a damn GPS so I can check out specific locations rather than from what I remember from a few hours eariler.

Finger getting all better Joe?
Good that you can dig again, you're good at it!

The big thing is you were out there, because even if the finds are few and far between, you still get that good feeling when you finally see a disk shaped object in the hole.

I was going nuts around noon looking out the window, then checking the aerials of the place you guys were at. Hopefully the weather will be nice next weekend.

The finger is doing pretty good, thanks for asking. Still quite a bit of stiffness but a vast improvement from one month ago. I've got a cool "Zorro" Z-scar over 3/4 of my finger, but, like I told my boss, I have no really cool story attached to it. I could tell people I fought off an inbred rabid pitfull, or that I took a knife to the hand via a gangfight...what do you guys think? jk.

I'm still in therapy, twice a week, plus hourly self-therapy, it is a pain in the @ss. Oh well, lesson learned.

Glad you two had a great cruise. . . a little R&R is always good this time of year

That's one of the best looking "steelies" I've seen. . . if that was a dug find, there would probably be nothing left to I.D.

Joe, glad the finger's getting better Where there's a will there's a way. . . you'll be hitting on all cylinders in no time
By the way, thanks for the invite (Neil's PM) that was very generous of you.

I think it's time for us to get together for a "wild bunch" hunt one of these weekends. . . soon

Take care & hope to see you and the gang soon!
