Minelab Explorer Forum

Went out to a spot I have hit before but, has been on the back-burner for awhile.
Was able to add to the collection some weird arrow decorative thing (I am thinking part of the old iron fence?). Some kind square looking attachment that is engraved, 2 buckle pieces, compact back, 00 Barb. and a 43 Merc, 3 little flatties and 9 more wheat's.
Was hoping to add to the old copper count but, that did not happen today.
No dig pics as I forgot and took off without the camera.
Here are the goods below.

Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a great rest of the week.

Been swingin' the coil since 1972
Started out in 1972 with a Jetco Detector...then the late 70's with a Whites 6000....then in 1981 went to a Bounty Hunter VLF TR 840...then in the early 1980's I went to a Whites 6000 Di Pro...mid 80's I went to a Whites Eagle II SL...Late 80's/Early 90's I went to the Whites XLT...1990's I used the Fisher CZ5, CZ6, CZ7, 7aPro, and CZ70Pro...Started using Minelabs in 1999
with a brief stint on the Musketeer while also using the CZ's...then in 2002 I switched to the Minelab Explorers and currently use an Explorer 2, SE, SEPro, and E-trac with an arsenal of coils

Here's the story of my BEST FIND EVER.:

"Metal detecting is an escape for me and allows me to find some much needed peace and solace.
Being able to clear my head...even if only for that short while...is much more meaningful than any amount of finds that end up in my pouch" "Quote ME"

You're on a roll! Keep it going!
