METAL CHASERS 2

so last time on metal chasers i told you how it all began and i ended with telling you about the so called treasure johnny had hoped to find in our yard which wasnt treasure at all. haha. after that day in the yard playing with the metal detector and hoping to find valuables buried in our grass, johnny decided to start exploring away from the house. he called up his good friend nick and they headed to the desert to find treasure for sure this time. they headed to the Buthc Cassidy hide out to check out if they could find anything. as i sat home and the hours when by i started thinking maybe they found something. johnny came home later with pockets full of stuff, ass he started to pull everything out there deffinately wasnt treasure but he did find a bullet and and a really old can. i wasnt too impressed. a few days later the headed out to the lake. this time they were really excited because you nver know what people lose in the water. by this time nick had gotten himself a metal detector too! so they were really looking forward to going to the lake. again hours went by and johnny came home and this time he had a happy suprised look on his face like he really found something valuable. he called me into the kitchen and said i found some sort of coin, it was dirty and rusted so we cleaned it off the best we could, and as we are doing this johnny had made phone calls telling people to come and see this coin he had found well as people showed up and the coin got cleaned up it was soon discovered to be none other than a Peso. we all sat there and then laughed. so at this point johnny nick have now found pop cans, loose change, metal junk, and a Peso, oh yeah and the Peso is only worth like not even a dollar. so no treasure yet but maybe next me wee could be in for a suprise!!!

Oh now this is sounding like a fun time! I guess the saying is true "One man’s junk is another man’s treasure." In your case most of what they have found is junk to all of us but them! lol

Our Trip to Durango

This last week made a little trip to Durango to see family that we haven't seen in awhile and to introduce our newest addition to his grandparents, great grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. we were there for 5 days and we got to spend time with everybody which was alot of fun, johnny's dad played the guitar and sang for us and i was going to record it and my camera was dead but eventually i will get a recording of it, Merrick loved it! It was nice to visit and see everybody, johnnys brother lives in new mexico so we made a trip there to see him and the family. Merrick hated being in his car seat all of the time but overall i feel that it was a trip worth while. we will have to go there more often.
