Got out today to a small park in a neighborhood that was built in the 50s.\u00a0 Not my first choice, but I was in the area due to other business.\u00a0 And besides, in each of the previous two trips, this park has surrendered a silver coin, so it is not a hopeless cause (this is the same site where I found a merc on 12\/17 (and, no doubt, wrote a very similar entry at the time)).\u00a0 My theory is that I’m not going to invest time in a new site, which may require permission, and may require return permission, both of which may be awkward, when the weather is miserable and unpredictable.<\/p>\n

Today, however, the weather was predictable: it was miserable.\u00a0 Cold and windy, and the ground was frozen.\u00a0 Not the sort of rock hard frozen where you need a jackhammer, sort of the frozen like hard ice cream, where you can work a plug if you really want to, but it is a pain in the ass.<\/p>\n

Well, I got me a rosie and a copper flat button.\u00a0 Nine out of ten detectorists would prefer the flat button.\u00a0 I’m the 10th.\u00a0 For me, its about seeing the shiny in the hole, that experience.\u00a0 Puzzle solved.\u00a0 But the flat button is cool.\u00a0 It even has the loop intact.\u00a0 It gives you the hope of finding an old silver, cause it was a high tone target that is at least 200 years old.\u00a0 Around here, pretty much everything has been farmland since the early 1700s, so you just never know.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I did succumb to the weather with an hour and a half left to hunt.\u00a0 Oh well.\u00a0 It wasn’t fun freezing my ass off.\u00a0 If someone who takes things more seriously than myself and is willing to freeze gets the shiny, that’s life I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
