    Hello everyone,
    For the past 2 weekends I haven't been able to metal detect due to a really bad lower back pain. I felt much better yesterday and was able to go out and carefully detect for about 3 hours.

    I won't be metal detecting next weekend because my wife and I are heading to a 3-day getaway to Puerto Rico. Our 4th trip this year :joyful::kiss:

    Let me first tell you an unfortunate and disappointing story. I detected my third ever thimble. I noticed that it had compacted dirt inside, so I decided to tap it against my hand digger. As a result, the thimble which was thin and fragile crumbled into like 8 pieces :confused: - It was totally destroyed :( I won't ever do that again!

    Here are my finds

    2 Silver Coins

    Peepland sounds like my kind of place.... Just kidding.

    But I did find a similar token to that when I was living in Maine. It made me want to wash my hands.

    Lots of nest finds. Sorry you’re having back pain and hope it passes in time for your trip. Doan’s Back Pain pills always help me in a day or two. Shame about the thimble. You did find lots of other goodies and two silver coins is always good. Take care of your back and have a safe and pleasant trip.
