I Drove 16 Miles For THIS?

[SirJoey]

My yard is turning up nothing but trash, so I decided to actually go for a little ride. First I went to this abandoned school, but spotted a "No Trespassing" sign, so I got skeerd & left.

Then I cruised by this little town park, but there were some official trucks parked out front, so I got skeerd & left.

Finally, I went by this private property that I already had permission to hunt from a lady I go to church with. After some SUPER hard digging, I managed my first quarter, my 4th zincoln, & little die-cast car. And only a 16-mile trip, no less!

Had to give up, cuz the ground is absolutely undiggable! It's obvious I'm not gonna be able to do any treasure hunting till we get some rain, but at least I know this thing is working.

Well as long as you keep finding things, nothing else matters.

HH!

[SirJoey]

Thanx, yeah the little car is kinda kool, I guess. At least I didn't get skunked!
I just can't wait till we get some ground-softening rain!

I know what you mean about the dry ground. Our ground is so hard here that it is nearly undiggable. I guess I'll need a new hobby until we get a good soaking rain. Meanwhile, I'll get my metal detecting fix by reading posts here on TNET.

Cool Green Machine!
Your next finds are out there waiting for you !!

 

[billydabeeg]

time to fire up the backhoe.

be glad it was only 16 miles. In February I traveled 2 1/2 hours each way to the beach, detected for 5 hours... and came home with 51 cents.

"so I got skeerd & left." ROTFL Thats to funny !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

Oh come on, that's not so bad. I drove 450 miles last week to find a single 1919 wheatie. But I did get to meet a really great fellow Tnetter so it made the whole trip worth it.

 

[vanoldschool]

keep at it persitance will pay off, last two months were not that great then 7 wheaties yesterday and a silver ring today! thats the way it goes

 

[Shortstack]

Cheez, you mean that hurricane that just went up the east coast didn't put any rain in South Carolina??

 

[Blind Squirrel]

Glad to see you're up and running, that detector was giving you a fit for a while!!! I'm in NC and can sympathize with you on the rain issue. It sure has been dry all summer long and strarting out that way this fall. I'm trying to figure out a way to carry a jack-hammer with me when I go detecting, but they are a bit heavy Going to the beach again tommorrow, at least the surf will be wet. HH Gene

Raining here now.

rain today through tonite also.

I Like finding those little cars,
don't think I Owned any as a kid.
do remember seeing them in the 5 & 10
but only thing I remember buying
was candy & Ice cream sodas at the
soda counter of course.

***Find out where the school board is and go ask 'em..it's harder to turn you down in person than on the 'phone...find a secretary and give her your 'ole puppy dog look and ask!

Then I cruised by this little town park, but there were some official trucks parked out front, so I got skeerd & left.


*** GET OUT OF THE TRUCK! go find someone...pick out the friendliest lookin' one and say " Could a poor fella with no job look around in the park with a metal detector? I promise not to leave any holes"?...

Finally, I went by this private property that I already had permission to hunt from a lady I go to church with. After some SUPER hard digging, I managed my first quarter, my 4th zincoln, & little die-cast car. And only a 16-mile trip, no less!

Go Back...Go back...go back...



Congrats on the successful trip! gets better as YOU do!

I don't know man, that's a pretty sweet car.

Sometimes the hunts just don't produce well. I've pulled some toy cars out too, they always read 50 cent or dollar on my machine, so I get all excited. Then I realize it's just a toy car, and I move on.
