This past week has seen me doing house chores and therefore I'm not getting out digging as much as normal.
The short hunts that were managed did produce a couple of interesting this though.
The recycle buckets continue to grow in weight.
And a few things are being diverted to this years fun hunt.
Keepers were sporadic, however 4 out of 5 hunts with keeper is not bad.
I really like the sentiment on this pendant.
These 3 were neck and neck with the penny count on this day.
3 silver coins and 3 pennies right at the start of the hunt. Sadly the pennies took over in a big way after that.
Time for the boo boo.
On one of my hunts I pulled something that I didn't even take notice of.
It was a shallow target.
So shallow in fact that it was in the grass roots.
There was evidence of a nearby hole.
My initial thought was that someone had either discarded it or missed it when they dug the other item.
What did I think that it was at the time?
Well, a broken piece of a harmonica reed was the first impression.
Without giving it a second glance it was tossed into the pouch and consequentially into the tumbler with most of that recycle crap in the first picture.
That particular tumble session ran for around six hours while I was busy with other things and this is what I saw when it was over and done with
I had no alternative other than to give it the full treatment.
After gently straightening it and using reverse electrolysis to remove any crud that remained this is how it looked.
