Stuck In Place
It wasn’t long before something else caught his attention. Continuing to dig, Mike even used his hands to try and get a grip on the strange item, which was starting to poke out from beneath the ground and leaving him altogether perplexed at first glance.
This peculiar item was not budging at all, no matter how much elbow grease he was putting towards getting it out of the ground. Not one to bow down to a challenge, Mike continued to try and get this immobile piece from out of the ground.
A Concerted Effort
As time wore on, and Mike kept digging, his determination kept him going. The item looked relatively light, with the same sheen expected on a piece of metal. He wondered whether this strange item had anything to do with the “coin” he had just gotten his hands on.
It took all his energy to try and figure out what this second item was. Trying everything he could, he even wondered whether the ground was fighting back, not wanting him to uncover its secrets. Regardless, all would be revealed soon enough.
