Saturday Morning Coin Hunting

This morning Sheldon and I went coin hunting. The idea is to drive to small towns and see if they have any half dollars. So we picked Monroe, Georgia which is SouthWest (I think) of Athens on 78. I was the navigator...never a good thing. So We took off and ended up on Atlanta Hwy and found People's Bank in Statham. They had some coins. Then we drove to Winder and cut down 11 to Monroe. Not one single coin found at any of the four banks in Monroe.

Though, we did get lunch at KFC and visit the local Big Lots. The lady who worked there was the nicest person I have met in the longest time. :)

So it was a nice and pleasant drive....and a few hours away from the house. Monroe has some beautiful old houses to drive around and look at...

Sheldon is excited...we found enough Silver to pay for our trip and lunch...but not our $4.00 shopping spree at Big Lots.

Maybe next week we will drive over to another little town.

Sheldon Feels a bit Left Out....

I think Sheldon feels a bit left out that I haven't added any of his metal detecting finds to the site. He loves going out metal detecting and doesn't understand why I am not into it. If we lived in a different area I might like it more...but going out into 100 degree weather isn't my idea of fun. Nor is 90 degree weather (at night) and a bunch of bugs biting me...

So I thought I would include a few pictures....Right now he is detecting a park that he thought would never have been detected....come to find out there is another guy there right now. Sheldon is doing the land...he is doing the water.
