    Hey you horse guys.......any guesses as to the timeline of this spur ?......It was found......

    at a site where a few War of 1812 items have been recovered but I'm guessing it's a bit later than that, in or about the late 1800's ? I gave it to Piper a while back so pleeeeease tell me it's not worth anything.:rofl:

    Two or three nice digs when least expected.......

    Went snooping for arrowheads and searched for a spot in a rather large farm field where an old cabin supposedly once stood. We had to scan this field from ground level to notice any elevation at all. As most or all of you well know, the earlier homesites were always constructed on the lands...

    A while back I mentioned "Glassy Island".......well, we made it there for a couple of hours........

    Jim called me at 7:00 a.m. this morning informing me that our friend from work had agreed to take us out to the island for a couple of hours. Jim made it to the island once last year and found a bottle that lists for $400.00. A quick coffee and out the door I went. This island glimmers with...

    Received some great news today:clapping::clapping:........

    It looks as though Grace will not require chemo or radiation. Her sentinel node biopsy came back negative meaning her original cancer cells were contained and removed with her surgery. Still some healing to go but that's a hill she'll happily climb. Thank you all for your prayers and well...

    We are not alone:smile:

    As most of you already know, Grace recently underwent some pretty intensive surgery. I thought I'd share what we found to be a rather "coincidental" circumstance during the course of that eventful week. I'll need to set the table here first in order to give you folks an understanding of how...

    Arrived home late last night:smile:.......

    and Grace is recovering beautifully. She's one strong cookie, I'll tell you. She was in surgery for twelve long hours but everything turned out well. :thumbup: Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers........we found strength to get through this past week that we didn't know we had. It's...

    Few pics of last years favourite digs

    Sorry about pic quality, I'm still working on it with my daughter's help. Two days for me, and they said, "Let's just post what you've got for now!" This is the front of my "George the Third" 1797- my largest coin last year. An 1856 3 cent peice beside it- my smallest of last year. Underneath...

    Hey Sunny.....here's a few pics of that table I told you about.......

    It's not a piece to die for or anything like that but we liked it's character just the same. Our old neighbor had thrown it to the road and Grace just had to have it. It had 4 or 5 coats of paint on it and Grace thought it'd make a nice "do together project", which means that she'd bring me a...

    The Memorable Gift

    The Christmas marketing season has begun once again and the light sprinkle of snow outside serves to remind me that it will soon enough be here. The latest technology wares are proudly being displayed as are the latest trends in clothing amongst a myriad of choices for us soon to be Santa's...

    The tale of one who flew the bi-plane.......and one who can only read about it.....

    Airshows were and still are a common interest that Jim and I shared over the years. This is a story of one in particular, at our local airport, that took place six or seven years ago. In order to understand the proper setting for this wonderful event, it is neccessary to explain to you a bit...

    A question for you experienced MXT users...............

    I've recently secured permission for an old site that is VERY heavy mineralized sandy loom with an incredible amount of iron. Mostly old square nails. Have been there twice trying to figure out my best performance options for my MXT but am finding this site most difficult. Brought an...

    The Light In the Sky !!.......??

    Roughly forty years ago, our family had moved from it's original dwelling on Charl Street. Our move found us the occupants of a home better equipped for us eight kids and our parents. It was roughly two miles from where I reside today and is still a nice place to raise a family. Honest, hard...

    About seven years ago I had this dream.......

    I thought I might share it with you. I am not one to fabricate or seek attention by any means. Nor do I neccessarily think that what I'm going to tell you means anything or is in any way profound. It was just a peculiar dream and I've often wondered what was it's meaning, if any. I was...

    One Familys' Journey

    My second youngest daughter turned seventeen ten days ago and it caused me to reflect on the years in between and the struggles that Grace and I were faced with to get to where we are today. At the time of her conception, Grace and I were living in a one bedroom apartment that counted...

    Man Down in the mine......Ali from Nigeria to the rescue !!

    It's done nothing but rain here since I got off work yesterday at three-thirty P.M. so I thought I'd tell one more tale of humor from the mine dating back about twenty years. It involves a fellow that works with us that imigrated from Nigeria. His last name is Aliu and we all simply call him...

    Round two of mine pics......a few other pieces of equipment and some clearer mine shots.....

    This is an undercutter. It cuts the floors of every heading. It's blade is fourteen feet long and the operator will cut from one side of the face to the other with it. Every face gets cut and drilled before it is loaded with explosives and blasted.[attachment 28455 DSC02039.JPG] Here is an...
