Morning Arc, Gary, Pepperj, anti, RTR, Bill, Rook, Tom, Fat and Blak bart! Great posts today, especially like the pics of real treasure!
RTR - like your Cobra and wanted to share a Cobra story. Years ago, we had a corporate scientist heading up our lab that was an introvert and didn't let many people into her circle. One day at lunch, she sat down at the table and said she lost her wedding ring in her yard over the weekend. I immediately told her that I had a detector and would gladly look for it. She agreed so my wife and I showed up on the weekend.
She showed me the area in the woods where she was clearing brush and thought she lost it in that area. They owned 10 acres so I didn't want to say it might be like finding the needle in the haystack, so I said I would start at the area closest to the house and work my way down the new trail.
Within five minutes, I found the ring and she couldn't believe it. Now for the best part of the story,,,
I knew that she was in a national Cobra club and she owned three of them. She invited us to see her collection and she pointed out that the burgundy colored one was the most valuable. I asked why and she explained that the early Cobras used the Ford 260 V8, and her burgundy one was the very first to have the 289!
