So where are the detector reports??

RE: One more good morning

Got a mighty nasty suprise today after detecting. Reconned 2 spots and saw swarms of the Japanese hornets. Im telling you (as someone thats allergic) those things are huge. The first batch wasnt many, maybe about 10 or so. I didnt give them too much thought, other than Id never seen them before. Then I went to another spot near some pine trees and a fishing spot near the river. Ive detected silver here before.

Well, I thought I had seen just a batch of horseflies....then it dawned on me, those werent horseflies. Dove back in the suv. I sat and watched them for a few minutes. No mistaking what they were..Hornets huge 2inch jobs...hundreds of them. Damned things almost looked like hummingbirds. Have to go back to the ranger station as theres some big events coming to town and those things could knock some people off.

Anyone here that may be going to the fairgrounds in Gen county and the Richfield park area (Michigan)--becareful, and take note of your surroundings.

On a good note--no stings, 1 silverplate fork (Iron I thought of you when I popped that stupid thing from the ground) 1d, 5p a metal plate from something, I have to clean it up.

Not sure if those are cicadia wasps or what but either way, being allergic Im staying away from them.

RE: One more good morning

you are still the plate king! sounds like you had a great haul too. a cpl key dates, some faux jewelry, silver. You must be the only person in your area that MDs and digs!

Haven't heard anything about gas prices..although they did go down yesterday...we'll see.

spent today listing stuff on ebay. Just atari 2600 cartridges for friend's boss/friend. Only had 50 or so. Friday he's bringing my friend a few tubs full, plus all of his hot wheels and all of his sports cards (still in the pkg) and pics of quite a few of his beer signs. So I'm sure I'll be busy listing in the following weeks.

This weekend we're holding the wife's family garage sale. We do it every year in Houghton.

It's crazy. People expect us to have it. Same ppl every year waiting outside for us.

buddy and I did well last year. This year will be more of the same. I have a few hundred vinyl Lps. Quite a few rare. 2 huge boxes full of cds, all still in the pkg. Friend of mine left me this large tub of NASCAR stuff when she moved. All in the pkg still. Her son is a huge Kevin Harvick fan. So quite a bit of his stuff and Dale Sr stuff. Might haul some bottles up there and I have a 1920's Edison Diamond Disc phono. With all 38 original diamond discs. And misc other stuff...collectibles and whatnot...should do well.

One cool thing I forgot I had..a Ted Williams baseball glove from Sears. I don't think this glove has ever been used. It's still in need of a baseball in the pocket and a rubber band around it to put under the pillow. One of the laces is split across, but other than that it's in great shape.

Bringing the 2box up to the inlaws for sure this weekend. Was playing with it and figuring it out a bit. Fairly easy. Wish I had the handle/bar to make it so I wouldn't have to be 30' away from the person carrying the other end. But it's 110-150 bucks. I guess I could make one. 49" aluminum bar with brass screws on each end. Could just use dowel or stair rail and some brass screws. would cut down on the EMI...

I'll let you know how it goes if I'm not online prior to that.

GL and HH when you get out! you keep finding stuff like you have all summer and you'll be sitting on a nice hunk of change and some nice coins and scrap.

Well, I have a book of my more valuable coins and all silver coins its adding up. Im telling you when I saw that fork down about 4inches I couldnt help laughing and I sure was glad you werent here. Surely wouldve got a ribbing for it. Id liked to hit those other spots but as I said the jumbo hornets kind of put the kabosh on that. We did get a decent amout of rain (started at 1am which I sat up from then to 3:30.) May take a drive out and see if they did anything about it.

Busy day...went down to college to register and every *^(&ing parking spot taken...oh well go tomorrow afternoon or something. Im not that interested going here because of transferring to WKU, but figure Id take some classes til I bug out in Nov-Dec. Thus far its more of a pain in the a** than its worth. Such is the debacle called Flint.....the steaming armpit of America.

Good luck with your sale....let me know if you come up with any coins. Might hit a few sales after Iam done at the lawyers tomorrow.
