Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2583808, member: 10461"]OK, we strayed off topic a bit, there.  I don't mind.  I have a hard time staying on point myself, as you've no doubt noticed. But back to the Epic Treasure Hunting Game. I will photograph at least eight more coins from the dug album this morning, so maybe later today, or in the wee hours of Tuesday, we can launch this thing for real. I am looking forward to this, because reliving these finds and outings is essentially reliving a big portion of my life.  I've never kept a diary of my personal life, but these dug coins and the records I kept for them have effectively been that for me.  Through them, I remember everything else that was going on in my life at the time I found them.  And some of those times were hard times, when digging was my only "therapy".  Yet I remember them wistfully today. This is why I use the title "Digger's Diary" and the coins have "DD-"numbers. Maybe nobody else will care so much, but at least y'all will have a little contest and I will catch up on archiving and photographing the last quarter-century's worth of my personal adventures. Up to now it's seemed a chore, which is why I haven't done it yet.  But with this little game as an incentive, I might actually get through the project, who knows?[/QUOTE]
