Back to the Ole Farm House Site

 Mike Budas and I ventured back to the old farm house site soon slated for development to do more metal detecting. No real treasures but I feel there are still some to be uncovered.

We found more broken glass, a deer skull - I believe it is, a milk glass canning jar lid, a burner from a stove, and I found a horseshoe.

Mike said you know what a horseshoe represents?

Yes, I horse around too much.

Metal Detecting a Plastic Coin

 Switching gears - back a few weekends when it was cold and windy Mike Budas and I went metal detecting on an old school grounds where a school once stood.

Mike wanted to try out his new metal detector that has all the bells and whistles.

I still use the old method, swinging a magnet on a string and when it stick to the ground I know there's metal. OK mines not that old but its older and basic.

Not much luck, lots of pull tabs, one badly crushed beer can and a plastic coin.

Mike exclaimed "HOW DID YOU FIND A PLASTIC COIN METAL DETECTING"?

You know, that is a mystery, ain't it?

NICE!

 Saturday at the park, Mike Budas and I went metal detecting.

Three little kids with their mom and dad came running over to see what we were doing.

One said I am three. I replied, Oh yeah, how old are you? Six, and then the boy spoke, I am five. The six-year-old corrected him; you are not; you are four and a half.

I told them what we were doing and explained we are hoping to find lost treasures.

The six-year-old, all excited, said look what I found and gave it to me. It was a little rubber magnet. She said you can keep it. I said aww, that's nice!

The end.

OH, I found one rusted pipe, a pull tab, a rusted who knows what it was metal disc, another rusted hunk of who knows what it was, and a 7/Up bottle cap.

Wickliffe park metal detecting

 I went to a local Wickliffe park metal detecting.

Not very successful, but still fun.

It always amazes me how something like a beer can finds its way 4 to 5 inches underground.

This Genesee can was found close to the park entrance, so how it got so far underground is a mystery. You'd think it would have been picked up or kicked further into the park when it was tossed there years ago.

The key is a Ford from the mid 60's to 70's, I believe,

The front says Ford, and the back says Family of Fine Cars.

Whenever I dig, I carry out everything dug up, even broken pieces of glass.

Metal Detecting

 One day I will hit the mother lode until then anyone lose a eyeglass case?

My detector was going nuts, dug and dug and dug
And there it was an eyeglass case.
If anyone around 1980 or so lost an eyeglass case at Featherstone Park and can tell me what was in it, you can rightfully claim it.
Amazes me how items dropped on the ground get buried so deep.
There is a lesson there about no global warming and how the earth heals itself but for now anyone lose an eyeglass case?
The rest of the items, one large bolt and who knows what the others were.
