FIRE! Newly accessible spot

[Gridwalker306]

I haven't been on T-Net much the past few days. I needed a break. It was a gloomy week outside, and on this forum as well. I'm sorry I have missed everyone's posts and finds.

Today felt like the first day of spring. The sun finally came out, the temps are up around +10 (50F). So strange to be t-shirt and shorts weather this early, it's wonderful. There isn't any snow left, but the ground is hard as a rock, even the grassy areas make a "ping" sound when I try to jab my sharp poker into the ground. By next weekend it should be dig time.

Sitting in my living room I start to hear sirens, I turn and see smoke everywhere. Holy crap! Out the door I went. It turns out the town maintenance man burned a pile of branches/leaves on the golf course. The wind picked up, sparks flew, and the fire jumped. The fire dept. was on the scene and put out the blaze.

A large portion of where this fire burned is an area that never gets mowed, waist deep grass. I have detected mercilessly on either side. Now I have a few acres of prime detecting real estate to pound! There are a few wagon tracks that run through there, plus I'm sure kids played in the trees there as far back as the town's history, and it's on the golf course. I'm pretty sure there will be something to find.

Of course I don't like seeing fires, but I'm going to turn this into a positive.

Wow you are warmer than where I am Michigan ,for now.
That area will green up nice following the fire.
Have a good hunt ,or hunts. Deeper reach with your coil now, plus moister spring soil.
Looking forward to your finds.

I could use that maintenance man down here at a few spots. haha Even now where there are 8" tufts of grass, I know I'm missing a ton. Doesn't look like any damage was done and that looks like ideal ground to hunt. Looking forward to seeing what you find in that area now.

Yep, looking forward to the new soft grass. And now that is burned off I can use a golf course mower to keep it short and hunt until the finds run out.

Thanks man, should be hunting in there this week.

The town guy felt pretty sheepish accidentally letting the fire get out of control haha. Gonna have to tease him...and THANK him

That's sweet!
It's like going to a good spot and seeing the plough went through!
I could use that maintenance man on a couple of other sites too, see if he's available lol
