3rd day of my vacs: I went to this other old hacienda where last year I found a 1906 barber dime. This hacienda now belongs to an 89 years old named Don Benito. He had lived all his life here in these mountains and he knows beautifull places and caves where revolutionaries used to hide guns and ammunitions. My uncle introduced this old person to me last year, and he is a humble person that has a tiny grocery store and takes care of his goats. After handed him 10 dollars because he letted me into his old hacienda, he told me he was going to take me to a beautifull cave up in the mountains. Suppossedly, he said, there are revolutionaries bombs on one of the levels of this cave and there are 3 levels. He told me to take a camera and that I would never find a cave so beautifull as this one. Incredible, but this old guy walks almost at the same pace as myself (33 years old) and he told me that whenever I wanted to go just I needed to pick him up as long as there is no rain. I found all these coins on his hacienda and lots of bullets fom the early 1900's. The oldest is a 1888 silver 10 centavos and the 2nd oldest on that site was an 1889 copper 1 centavo. The 1888 coin, I placed the picture with my second day vacations by mistake. Behind the hacienda close to one of its corners I got a strong signal on my ace 250 w/ the 9 x 12 coil, I started digging until I hitted a slab close to a foot down. I got so excited thinking that I had found a pot of gold since it was getting now too deep. I removed the big rock and I felt something metallic under it and I thought it was the lid of the pot with all the gold on it. However, it turned out that it was a shovel covering a clay pot; now it was like 18 inches deep and I broke the pot in order to remove its contents. What I found were bones of I don't know what or of who. I called Don Benito to take a look at it and he told me that the Indians used to bury their death in clay pots and that I probably by mistake hitted one. However, I don't know what was doing a shovel covering the clay pot since these are more recent artifacts and then the big slab on top of the shovel. I had fun anyways being fooled by the indians or by an assassin, who knows? Let me mention that the last photo is the old hacienda from the priest mentioned on my yesterday's story, the other one is Don Benito's. Have a beautifull day and thanks for reading. I can't wait to go back to those mountains. bye.
