More clad and a blister

Well I quickly hit a few more tot lots this morning. Somebody has to be hitting these things hard around here. I found one dime that's it.

Went back the trashy grounds where the ring was lost. Found a bunch of clad from the mid 60s. Since the site is only 50 years old I don't expect to find anything much older. With 5+ ring signals per swing I am not sure I will ever even attempt to find the ring. If I could get some more info on where it was lost and norrow the search to maybe a 20 X 50 area I might dig the pull tabs.

I have a blister in the palm of my right hand from using the digger in that hard ground today. I have to get me a 5 X 5 t-handle to cut the plugs with.

I stopped by the Library and rented Texas Forgotten Ports Vol II (I can't find a copy to buy) and The History of Baytown by Margrett Swett Henson(These are going for $85 used).

I search for some W. T. Block books to purchase. Oh man they carry some hefty price tags!!

I also ordered the following books from Amazon. Ya know the funny thing is I have never been a reader, but I feel like I can't read enough now.

LOL thats a riot! BTW thanks to him for the idea of going to the library for book instead of buying them, I can put my library card to good use. Now if I can just remember where the library is.....

That's quite a library you have going there.   I have the habit of using the library, at least until I decide I HAVE to have a copy of the book or if I can't find a copy in the library.   (Which means most of  the additions to the Texas and New Mexico collections).

I recently added a book to my Texas collection that you'll probably want to look for (if you don't already have it): Texas Constables: a Frontier Heritage by  Allen G. Hatley and published by Texas Tech University Press in 1999.
