Memorable Automobiles from The Past:
I'd love to dig up one of these!
For today:
Pirate’s treasure haunted my little mind for years after reading stories
of pirates. Then after hearing of those ‘metal detectors’ for years I wanted
one (never got one).
I hear of treasure
hunters who frequent yard sales and bargain stores and find pictures, toys,
plates etc worth $$$$$. On the Many lots and land I have bought I have dug up
things I recognized, but nothing of value. The last discoveries were antique
car window mechanics and bed springs, so rusted they were of no use. And then
there are the many ‘old’ bottles I dug up.
I have a dear friend, Daisy.
He son is a professor and a REAL archeologist. I did some volunteer work
in her home. She has some vases and ‘things’ he has dug up from all over the
world, that are worth more than her
house, but her son gave them to her and that is worth more than the $$ she could get from sales.” BTW Daisy is 94 and says she has all she
needs.
She and her sweet sister of 92 are two of the sweetest girls you
could ever know.
I have been thinking.
I have never taken part in a real archeological dig, but if I did, I think I
would prefer to dig in the USA. Maybe in the upper mid-west.
The digs in Egypt and the Holy Lands are interesting, but I
think I would like to know more of what is buried in the USA. We visited a ‘dig’ near Williamsburg, VA. It
is interesting what they found there, but to me, if invited to help, I would be
thrilled to work in a dig in Montana.
I know Archeologists dig in all countries BUT do scientists dig
in every state?
This one ain't my cup a tea, just sayin'.
No matter, would you like to dig? Does it interest you? If so Where?

Currently, I am digging into my "storage area". I found six vintage electrical insulators; shot a pic to my bro Kenecon, the electrician par extraordinaire, to see if he wanted them. "Nope," was the answer. They are valued at $15.oo each, he said "NO, thank you. Post and sell them", so I will. Mark Darnell took my call today and said he would put me on his schedule to do some work here in a week or so!!! I am so happy about that! Life is good, GOD is Great and people are crazy...sounds like a country song! Love you and yours, Jack and Sherry ~ to the moon!
I was involved in a historical dig in the UK and I was there when they found King Henry the Eighth cell phone.
Happy Easter. God bless.
I don't did much digging at all but sometimes I feel like I'm excavating my mind. I wonder where it went. Lately I'e misplace a couple of things. My house is small but I can't find them anywhere. Where or where did my mind go? I figure that sooner of later they will show up in the least expected of places. It will be like ind ing a buried treasure when I do find them.
My mother was like Mark. I think there's still a newspaper clipping around here (that) she saved about old hotel ashtrays becoming valuable. Just in case, I've a box full that she and my dad 'collected' throughout their travels.
Were I to dig, I think I might start in Los Alamos. Perhaps in my old backyard.
