Last hunt of 2011........

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

Took Grace to Build a Bear today to cash in her gift card from Christmas. After we picked up some groceries and snacks for tonight's party we headed for home. As we were passing a park with two tot lots, I commented, hey I should stop and detect and you girls can play. They said yeah!!! So we stopped.
A beautiful day partly sunny and 40 degrees. Almost summer like here in MI. The girls played, while I beeped a few targets for maybe 25 minutes.
Got a few goodies. My favorite is the old Cracker Jack car. Still has all it's steel wheels. Also nabbed a 1953 nickel. Good to get out before old man winter sneaks back in. He is supposed to arrive tomorrow!
Grace built a Bunny this time with a matching dress and shoes to match her dress. Oh and we had to get a Bunny back pack carrier, and roller skates too!

At the park all the ducks and geese seen me with my camera and said he must have food!!! I motioned my arm like I was tossing bread and they all came a running. There were a lot of mallards, some white geese and Canadian Geese. Probably at least 50 total. I clicked some pics and they mumbled some stuff as they waddled away! Something about no food i think?

Nice digging Mike, and great to see you get to spend time with the girls. I tell both of my sons to enjoy their kids because they grow up way too fast.
