Life has been somewhat stressful the last few months.
And what better way to forget everything than to get out side in the fresh air.
Doing nothing but listening to all of the beeps, bleeps, burps and farts from a metal detector.
From the first two days of this post it was primarily just clad hunting.
Day one I hit two different sports fields.
Fortunately coins is not all that I found though.
Both of those fields had just been mowed the day before.
And all of these nails were sitting up on top of the grass.
The next day I hit another two different parks.
The pipe tamper is only steel but it is kinda a cool find none the less.
I am not sure about the numbered band.
Pigeon maybe?????
The Meccano dinky toy was decidedly the best find of the day for me.
And here is the scrap gather up over those two days.
As many of you know I am getting my house ready to put on the market.
That means that I have been selling a few things to make it more presentable.
One of those things was this.
It was found a couple of years ago and no one ever reported it lost so what the hey $150 in my pocket.
Another thing that I had to get rid of was the last 6 months worth of scrap metal I have been saving up.
Add to that I did my first bank run of the year for my clad.
And voila my plane ticket to Toronto is paid for and I have spending money to boot.
Now my place just seemed empty without any scrap metal kicking around. :sad:
And there was only one way to fix that. :yes:
Three different trips to my favorite saltchuck solved the problem.
The first 2 were solo trips and on the third trip I had Mike as my wing man.
The Chevy and Mack hubcaps were cool but this new auto company took the cake for me.
How many of you have ever seen a tudebaker.
