I have my share of irons in my house but I never found one that was intact. Now I got a rod in our back tomorrow after our vote and walk around and look for it I walked around for two solid hours and it was in like a 40 x 40 spot. Uggh IMG_0737.jpg

That's a cool one Truth! I have quite a few found over the years too!
 

Nice iron!
Sorry about your pinpointer. Hopefully you didn't bury it!!!?
 

Sorry about your pinpointer. After walking away from mine several times I tethered it to my trash bucket.
 

Hope a plastic rabbit don't grab your carrot...:laughing7:

Lol I’m gonna drive an hour tomorrow to see if I can find it I actually looked for two hours no idea where it is and I stayed in the same vicinity. I’ll lose things including my mind
 

I guess thats why they make them orange, better shot at locating them when lost, good luck - If not, maybe someone will find it while detecting some day !

When did you notice it missing?, If after you got in your car check your car before making the long drive.
 

I have mine tethered to my Garrett bag. I started doing that snorkeling underwater and then realized it was great to do that while on land. That iron will be nice after electrolysis.

Yeah I had one of those body I lost it LOL
 

Cool iron, hope you find your pinpointer. If you keep it on your belt in its sheath like I do you may want to look next to where your truck was parked on site. It might have slid out as you were getting in.

ecmo i’ll lose everything that’s why I got two more pin pointer’s always fall back on. My mind moves in 10 different directions which makes me real good at multitasking and real bad on losing sh/t
 

You need to find a beeper you can attach to it like the key fob when you hit the panic button it makes your horn honk.

Mine is tethered to my finds pouch. I’ve lost my fair share of screwdrivers and digging tools. How the heck can something so big be so darn hard to find?

Very nice iron, should clean up nicely! :occasion14: Sorry about the pin pointer, I have both mine tethered to my finds bag with expandable lanyard. :icon_thumleft:
 

Last week I found a percussion rifle barrel and lost my Garrett pinpointer in the woods ! Hiked a mile back to the site and couldn't find it.
 

Hi Truth ,those old irons are great for cracking hard nuts .:laughing9: TP
