Treasures from the Earth

After yesterday's post, several people wondered what kind of treasures Doug was finding with his metal detector. He's like a modern day archaeologist!


There's 46 cents! And a broken, rusted wrench, dozens of pull tabs and bottle caps, tent peg, a tiny Barbie medalion, a nut, a screw and a rusty key.

I know, a pretty impressive haul for an afternoon of work. Most of the good stuff was found right here in our own rv site. The bottle caps and pop tops came from a picnic area down by the lake.


Doug also took the time to check the tumbling rocks. Some of them are finished! It's hard to tell from the photo, but they are polished shiny and smooth and still rocks. There are more rocks in the tumbler now on their way to perfection. One of these days we'll find some valuable gems!
