Sunday's outing. Today snow. Good day for posting. Nothing special.

They bought up some more houses to build the new hi-way, which means there is more for me to MD. The bad thing is the houses are newer on this side of the road project. Good thing is I don't have to ask to MD them. I have been doing this for two years now. All the cops know me and stop and ask how I am doing. Most people think I work for the state, because when I wasn't working I was out here most everyday. The other end of the project yielded lots of tokens, IH, Shielded, V-nickels, and Mercuries. I only saw one other person MD'ing one time. He didn't have a clue to what he was doing.

This was the oldest house on the street that was occupied two weeks ago. Anyone need a satellite dish?

This is a view down the street. There are about ten more houses to MD on this street. When they tear down the houses and grade the soil, the MD'ing gets really good.

There were snow ferries so I put a freezer bag over the display box. Today the ground is covered. Good time to write these long posts. This was my best find. Sometimes I find a gold ring at these places, but today was silver.

I need to invest in a mandrill.

This is my total minus the three nasty wheat's I found which is still soaking in peroxide. The oldest one was 1917. There is a good luck charm with a star on the front and a shamrock on the back. Also clothes weight, fishing weight and some clad.

I like the Celtic ring. Probably looted in England by one of my Viking ancestors and left behind in W.VA when he was on a long explore.

How long do these highway projects last? Will the houses be there for a week - or a year?

I have a bottle of peroxide which is supposedly much stronger than the pharmaceutical grade stuff. I buy mine at those beauty parlors that sell supplies. This stuff will bleach your hair and burn your skin. I hope it works on a couple of my coins, I had forgotten all about it.

Thanks for the reminder

I think they said the road would be done in 2011. The houses should be down by summer.

I told you they have a town with your name on it in WV.

You mean they have town named "Big Fat Stupid Ostentatious Ex-Hippie" there in WVa?

Small world, aint it?
