Should have had my detector with me.

I work for a local church and we recently merged with another church. Today I was driving to the other church building to get some things out of the old building when I saw that the city had dug up a rather lenghty section of sidewalk up in a old section of town. Unfortantly I had left my detector at home because of my recent work schedule plus all the rain that we have had it has been virtually impossible to hunt. Today was dry and the dirt under the walk looked great. It supposed to rain tonite. I guess that is how my luck always goes. A day late and dollar short.

usually the rain helps picking up coins. I would put my detector in the car and go back over there. As it is a long week end the city will not be working on it until next week...Matt

Probally another hunter already detected it.

Possibly but...you never know.

Optimism is a requirement in this kind of endeavor.

I agree with Matt, get back there. Good luck & post a pic of those finds.

I had to work til 12 that saturday. By the time I was able to make it there they had already compacted a good layer of gravel on the site. However when diving by today it looked like they might be getting ready to do some work on the sidewalk a couple blocks down. Maybe I can get to that one sooner.

you didnt tell us that this site was underwater!

looks like i may need to spell check before posting, driving not diving

I take my detector apart so it fits under the seat in my truck so I always have it, too many times in the past i was wishing the same thing.

My MD is in the trunk - always! Well except when it hits 85+ outside then I take it into work with me.

Have you thought about asking for Forgiveness from your metal detecting club?

Unfortantly to my knowledge there is no clubs here. I started keeping it with me untill a week or two ago when the temps hit the mid 90s, most of last week it was 97 - 98, with a heat index of 105+.

I did try a small park near that location with some promise. In the short time I was there came away with a few quarters ( that was the only thing I attempted to dig that day)
