WALKABOUT

[Kid Saxon]

The weather was nice,85 degrees. Had to get out and do some detecting,only had a few hours but came home with a nice specimen. For those interested I was using the GMT. SAT. at 7, GAIN at 7. The signal was faint with one bar on the graph. At about 10 inches in depth the ID said METAL TO CLOSE TO COIL with a loud scream. I knew it had to be a shovel or pick head. Dug about 4 inches deeper and removed two more rocks from the hole, then the signal disappeared. Picked up one rock and nothing,picked up the second rock and it screamed. Washed off the clay and this is what it looked like.
Total depth 14 inches,not bad for a GMT.

Absolutely amazing what is on old dump sites. When working hardrock by hand steels in days of old you need an oz/per ton to eat beans--now less than that buys some mighty fine steak. Nice piece-PLEASE DO NOT CRUSH OR ACID ETCH-it mighty purty just as she lies-Tons a au 2 u 2-John
