Hi Janiece,
Storms rolled in here around 3am that scared even me and I love storms. Of course it could have been the 100 lb dog that jumped on me and buried his head under my pillow

Gary, that's the kind of boredom I'd like! And I would love it if it would just stay 70-82 here but it's going to be in the 90s by Friday.

Anne, it seems like the world is getting drenched!

echostar, I had a 70 pounder with me. She was so scared her teeth were chattering! I had hoped that we'd be done with the storms but looks like more are expected tonight.

As of 10pm last night yesterday's rainfall was almost 5 inches. *sigh* Good digging though.

Hey Janiece that is some tough weather for sure! I hope you don't wash away. After it is all over maybe you will find some good stuff in the yard, and field, Beale.

Beale, I don't think I'll wash away but I sure am getting tired of stormy weather. Looks like a couple more days at least.

As for finding things, I was hoping to go out after work today but the storm started rolling in again. I stuck a big stick in the spot where the nail and buckle washed up so I will know for sure where it was. It was in an area of the yard I hadn't gotten to yet - I am about 5 ft from getting there.

Didn't find much of anything in the field last night but I only went on the edges where the corn cadavers would give me semi solid walking ground. I picked up a shard of crockery and a big red rock. I have no idea what kind of rock it is, it's dark red and really rough looking like the black lava rocks you can get for landscaping. I left it under a tree and will go back to get it on a drier day.

I'll keep you updated if I find anything. Shoot, I'm thinking about standing in the front doorway and slinging handfuls of change out just so I can find something!
