Weather was doable today. Not too cold, little wind and some fog. I got a call from my usual hunting partner. It was a GO! We headed back to a place where I found those gawd awful pink boots. No strange finds today, but some great keepers. Those pink boots are still where I found them.

Carefully hunted around an old campsite. Judging from a credit card from another old purse, it dated the site to around 1970. First good find.....an old bracelet, made in Mexico. Not too shabby!

About 20 minutes later, I got another curious signal, bouncing around 68 - 78. I pulled out a frozen lump of dirt, and like "wow".....a gold ring wrapped around with a thin gold chain. The gold ring ended up being costume jewelry, however, the chain was 10K gold! I did the snow dance!

My buddy got the only old coin today....a 1910 silver dime. What a find! I could hear him howling in the distance, a sign he had found something good.

Just about the same time, after listening him yodelling out loud about his silver coin, I looked down to see this gold colored round pipe like object sticking out of the ground. I dug it up, and out came a nice solid brass, made in India candle holder. Cool!

And finally to warm up, we feasted on some fresh buffalo jerky, fresh out of the smoker from yesterday afternoon. It just doesn't get much better then this! Good friends, good finds and good food.
 
John,
You are surely dedicated to the hobby.
Great finds and in the cold to boot.
You got me hooked on this jerky thing.
Went to Cabela's yesterday and bought
a dehydrator and some extra goodies
to make jerky. Can't wait for my first
batch and hope it all works out good....
Thanks for all your great contributions
to the hobby that PAYS you back!!!

Very nice finds. I like that pocket knife as well. Those pink boots are bringing you luck. Did you put them on before you did the snow dance ??? :)
 
Your welcome. It's amazing what the spin-offs are from metal detecting. Coin collecting, relic collecting, travel, photography, historic knowledge and food are just a few of them. :)

Good luck with your first batch of jerky! Share your recipes PLEASE!
 
I can just imagine what you look like...LOL
