Turtle Treasures

There is a severe storm watch posted for most of the mid-section of the country and it’s headed EAST! I really don’t care much as long as everyone is safe on the highway, but it does make sunny days beachcombing seem so far away!  I miss Lake Erie and that wind blowing from the WEST.  I miss the waves crashing and the hunt for TREASURES ESPECIALLY!

That’s the thing about treasure hunting along the shore, you just never know what you’ll find.  I know to the majority think it is just TRASH, but some of us who know it is precious treasure!  Last Fall I found this old metal spoon.  It was all worn from it’s time in the lake.  BUT it had been someone’s tableware and maybe even a wedding gift.  It HAD been used and used again before it became TRASH in Lake Erie!  It’s marked with Pat. Mar.13.24 and WWRogers & Son AA.  It has a story.  It “lived” it’s  life somewhere dishing out mashed potatoes and cereal and had one “terrific” ride in the lake.  And to me it still “lives” a tells it’s tale!  I just love it!
