Well, Mastereagle has been a little depressed lately, so he and I got out to hunt a little last night. (Friday) We were still asking permission to hunt the property and a monsoon type wind started blowing and the sky got dark. Undetered, we agreed to try to detect a little bit before the rain. I think I had dug three signals and then the rain started. It was big rain drops, but not really even heavy enough to get you wet. When the thunder started, I was bent over digging a target with my headphones on. When the boom came, I heard what I believed to be a small child crying. I looked up and saw Mastereagle (all 330 lbs of him) running with his Exp II toward the car. I coaxed him out from inside the car by taunting him and soon he was running ahead of me cherry picking the yard again. :P
The rain only lasted a few minutes, but it thundered quite a bit and everytime Mastereagle went and got in the car. He is lots of laughs.
When the weather eased up, he started complaining about the humidity. 
It's kind of like detecting with my kids. 
We only were able to detect for about two hours, but we managed a few things. He found 11 wheats and a merc and I found the following things:
A Quarter, four wheat from the 1940's, Sales Tax Token (Zinc), Black Metal Valve Stem Cap, Part of a Gun (?), Small Hose Sprayer, a Civil War Button (?), and Silver Left from Soldering (?)
Is this off a gun?
Is this Silver that was thrown out after soldering? I read like silver on the detector and is really heavy.
Wheats and Sales Tax Token......
This was a little hose nossle I found on the side of the house. Here it is taken apart:
Same nossle with pieces put back together
I hope this is a civil war button. It looks like a button I saw on google that was an Officers Button.

I don't think that's part of a gun or at least it isn't like any gun part I recognize. Everytime you post about a hunt I look over my shoulder at the print of your metal detecting guy I have framed on my file cabinet. Can't help it, just wonder if you are finding any of that stuff in the print. Sounds like a fun time was had by some at least? Monty
Man 
I don't know of anyone getting zapped metal detecting but lightning would have lit you up good if it was close. Almost like playing an electric guitar in an open field during a thunder storm . My friend ,Don , has an oak tree , 12 feet away from his front door. The tree grew around an old dog chain that was wrapped around it . Two weeks ago , lightning hit the tree, split the tree vertically, in half , traveled through the chain into the ground and fried every thing that was plugged into his wall outlets. Weird things happen !!
