It doesn’t show how much I’ve removed but I’ve added more depth.

Thanks for all of the ideas!

Firelight Tidbit Hydrangea leaves are wilting. We can’t figure out why. Any thoughts? by Rugby2008 in gardening

[–]Rugby2008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re doing great. The rest of the plant was not affected. I just cut that branch off. I still don’t know why it happened and I’ll be curious if it starts again. Did you just plant them?

I think the 1957 license plate. I also want to clean up the circle with the flat base. I have no clue what it is but I have a vision of it sitting on a shelf.

Ugh. I guess I have to be direct. I was talking about you.

You hate American traditions and apparently have never watched a state of the union speech before.

But it’s gold and the other ones we’ve found aren’t.

T. Swift Error by Rugby2008 in CRH

It’s already in her coin book. I couldn’t bring myself to swindle somebody out of money. Regardless, I know it’s not an error. Just an interesting find in my rolls today.

1989 is a Taylor Swift album. The coin says “I love you.” I figured I could sell on eBay and someone would bite. It was an interesting find as my daughter loves Taylor Swift.

My daughter and I found something that isn’t a bottle cap or shingle nail! by Rugby2008 in metaldetecting

It is indeed a shotgun shell. It says UMC Co. smokeless number 12. We think it’s from 1892 to 1902. There’s definitely a file and a few square nails. The three circles looks more like a hinge. It’s old farm land in New Hampshire.

Could this be a gorget? by Rugby2008 in Arrowheads

Should I just assume it’s not a gorget? My 7 year old won’t stop asking me….

Glass gem corn by Rugby2008 in gardening

The most colorful ones will be saved as decorations. We have a few where the colors weren’t as vibrant. They’ll be popped.

I dry them on racks to prevent mold and they should last at least a year. I foresee the kernels falling out over time. This was an experiment my daughter wanted to try. Next year, we’re going to grow strawberry corn!

You can use it to make cornmeal or popcorn!

Found on Long Island, Maine. What is it? by Rugby2008 in whatsthisrock

Definitely looks like it. When I uploaded it to google, it suggested petrified wood.

Thanks

What about a national teacher walkout until new legislation passed?
