I thought maybe I'd try out a new hobby. Metal detecting! For Christmas,I got Casey a metal detector. He's not always here to use it so I thought I'd try it out. It was fun! I've dug up nails, pennies, cans.. all kinds of junk. I always thought it was neat to find something lost in the dirt and not know how or when it got there.
On Sunday, we went out to George's house to dig around the woods near his house. We found some cool things out there. A couple of old axe heads, part of a horse bit, a few triangle looking things and an old chain. It was kinda creepy when we dug up the chain. It had an old hook on the end of it and I made the comment about being glad there wasn't a dog collar on there too. After George pulled the rest of the chain up, there was an old leather dog collar on it. All I could think was OMG I hope that dog pulled the collar over his head and didn't die and rot out of it. I wish I had thought to bring my camera with me.. Well, I did bring it but I left it in the car. Next time I go out there, I'll take pictures of all the stuff we found out there that day.
Kara and I went out today to the creek behind the house. We found a penny, several pieces of wire and a few of those old pull tabs that used to be on beer. We planted a googly-eyed potato in every hole we dug. Our way of 'giving something back' I guess. I tried to upload a few pictures of the pennies to Flickr but it's totally fuk'd. I tried every upload option they had but everything failed. They better get their shit straight soon.. My Flickr Pro account expires this month and I won't renew it if I can't upload anything. I'll have to use something like webshotz or picasa if it doesn't start working.
