Worst. Metal. Detecting. Day. Ever. Picture says it all.

[CrazySlasher]

I went out today to meet someone who was going to show me some foundations. He directed me to the spot and I took a ride down the very muddy dirt road. I didn't have any intentions to detect but I always keep my back-up with me no matter what (my ace 250). I found one of the cellar holes took out the Ace and swung for about 5 minutes. Found a pull tab and about a dozen holes where someone else had been. Decided to head home. As you can see from the picture, I went left when I should have gone right. 4 hours and 300 bucks later I finally got it out. DFXwilly, I don't think we'll be going to this spot anytime soon.

A similar thing happened to my friend and his Jeep Wrangler, so I feel for ya.

However, it could have been worse. You could have been that detectorist who found a young woman dead in a playground. Now THAT would be a bad day.

It was posted on this forum sometime last year. Sorry I can't remember the member who posted it or where it happened. I just remember reading about it.

Not to pirate the post But I remember reading about that dead girl that detectorist found. She had crawled up in a slide and he found her dead. Back to the matter at hand I would have done something stupid after that like throw my detector in the water. I would be so.... Well you get the Idea. The detecting gods owe you my friend . The boat reminded me of Forest gump when his boat hits the shore "thats my boat". First thing to enter my warped mind. Beter day beter days all.. Rob
