Logos Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Hey mates. Sorry I fell off the face of the earth. I was busy doing my treasure hunting thing when I happened to notice a friends home was for sale. Long story short the Gal and her husband move from Illinois to Texas. I called her and asked to metal detect her property. I also inquired what they were hoping to get for their home. OK, I called the real estate agent doing the listing and scheduled a viewing. I liked the place and ended up bidding on it and the owners said yep, you can have it. So now I am trying to get motivated and pack all my stuff up for the move. My trailer is a rats nest. My ex wife and daughter will be moving back into the trailer after I depart. It's been such a strange summer. I haven't checked into the internet carrier at the new place yet. I think it's an outfit called Wild Blue. I hope they have fast wireless. If not I might have to shop around to see who has the fastest wireless service for my area. It's a nice rural hamlet with about 20 or so homes in it. No convenience stores or gas stations, NUTHIN'! This is just what I was looking for if I ever decided to spend the rest of my natural life in debt. I met the neighbors before I bid on the house. Great folks and that's what sold me on the move. I have recovered some really cool old coins, relics, and stuff this year. I'll try and post a few pics for you folks. Take care and God bless the whole lot of ya'. BTW, in the forth picture you'll see an old Korean War era dog tag issued in 1951. I located the original owner and returned it to him personally. Great old guy and we had a few beers and shared some old war stories. One of my best finds and returns ever. Kevin aka Logos Quote
Logos Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 The old Korean War veteran & some more goodies. Quote
Logos Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 Sorry for the delay. Not sure how big my pics are so only posting 4 per post. I ain't no good at resizing...The large round rusty iron ball is a 4.5 inch 12 pound CANNON BALL!!! I was flipping out when I dug that sucker. It has to be my favorite relic ever. The round orange thing is a clay marble. Very old, which makes it very cool. Eyeball find. Thanks for viewing. I'll be BACK!!! Logos Quote
Blairgowrie Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I seem to recall a missing pilot by the name of Logos. But then my memory is fading fast. Good to hear from you m8 and great to see the wanding is still going strong. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted August 27, 2009 2. Administrators Posted August 27, 2009 ~S~ m8, nice to hear from you again...Don't leave it so long next time ya hear me? Jabo Quote
Rattler Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Great to hear from you, Kevin! Hope to fly with you again soon some night! Quote
Streak Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 So glad your still around M8. Hope to see ya fly again soon. Quote
JensenPark Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Yea Logos is back! I am going to sound queer here (steady Painless old man) but I really have missed you! Hope to see you on TS soon buddy. Kelly Quote
Enforcer57 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Assuming he remembers how to. I think it's possible this is a Logos from an alternate universe. Neat finds in those pix. I hope you kept a few notes about the Korea vet's experiences. That 4.5 inch shell is interesting, but I think those began to have HE in some of htem by that time. Iwouldn't put it near a camp fire, unless it's solid shot. That's pretty interesting stuff. Amazing coins. Glad you are back. Apparently razor blades don't exist in this parallel universe he returned from. Quote
Trout Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Hey Logos!! Hope to catch ya on TS soon. Great finds dude!! Quote
BadAim Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Nice to hear from you buddy. Great news on the house, hope the move goes well. And BTW who is that clean shaven guy in the picture with the Vet? He looks familiar. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted August 28, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 28, 2009 Welcome back mate. Nice contrast with the photos lol Quote
Snacko Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Happy to see you sniffed out the dog pack again. Quote
Oldtimer Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Great to hear from you m8! Sounds like your life is going well. Quote
CaptJackG Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Missed you buddy....looking forward to flying with you again Quote
Logos Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks for all the wonderful replies. I have always said this is the best squadron in the whole IL2 community. No need to hide it Kelly. We all know you lean toward the queer side. I'll try and clear all my treasure crap off my computer station and see if I can get to my HOTAS controls. Yep, they're buried. I'll have to update my TS info and such. I'll be back just like a bad Zincoln penny. Later mates. Logos Quote
JensenPark Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 No need to hide it Kelly. We all know you lean toward the queer side. Logos Only for you pumpkin! Quote
T_O_A_D Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 WB M8! So did you get the cannon ball officially identified yet? I've trashed my pc a few times, and haven't been on the MD site since we last spoke? Quote
Logos Posted August 29, 2009 Author Posted August 29, 2009 WB M8! So did you get the cannon ball officially identified yet? I've trashed my pc a few times, and haven't been on the MD site since we last spoke? I haven't "officially" but, it measures 4.5 inches and weighs 11 pounds 15.115 ounces. Probably lost a bit of weight sitting in the dirt for over a century. I am nearly positive it is the real deal 12 pounder cannon ball. How many kids do you see playing with 4.5 inch 12 pound shot puts or "marbles"? Quote
