Heavy metal

I've spent the last few days obsessing over my newest toy -- a brand-new Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector.

It's the coolest. I love that there are all these things just hiding under the ground we walk over every day. We have no idea they're there; that they've been there for years and years while our lives just go on and on inches above them.

Most of the stuff I've found so far have just been mystery items -- weird pieces of metal; rusty loops of old chain; rifle shells -- you know.

The very first thing I found, though, was a nickel. Nothing ancient, just a 1961 Jefferson nickel, but I felt like Indiana Jones. My friend drilled a hole through it and I made it into a little necklace.
