    We made it back from our airborne plumbing mission. It was a nice day for flying the back country of Idaho! :thumbup:

    We started our day at the local airport. Our friend Don arrived right on time in his waaay cool (Horkin, zesty, joosta) high performance airplane. [attachment 101613 P8130003.JPG] We loaded up our tools and materials in the plumbing and rocketed down the runway for our destination in the...

    A little adventure for us tommorow. We are being flown into a mountain airstrip to do a plumbing job!

    The last time I got on a plane to do a plumbing job was when I replaced Vernon's green garden hoses with plumbing pipe up in Alaska. That was fun! Tomorrow Jim and I are being picked up at the little airport-golf course that is in my small town by one of our building contractors. Our mission is...

    This post is waaay off topic, but I need to vent a little and bring some closure to a 35 year wound. Thanks for letting me.

    In 1973 there was a terrible event that happened in our county that I still carry with me. A 24 year old dirt bag kidnapped a 15 year old girl, raped, killed, and dismembered her up in the mountains north of my town. I did not know the girl, but I had met the piece of crap that took her young...

    I took time for a little cool water hunting. Two words: Re Freshing! :lol:

    There is nothing like going out in to the nice cool water with the detector when the temps soar in the summer. It is also chigger free! The east coast water hunters have their own lingo to describe water hunting. They might say "Here are some nice tickets from todays spin in the lane." I like...

    Deathwind sighting! He just drove out of my driveway....

    I have just had the pleasure of meeting and spending a little time with Deathwind. He is on his last few days of the"TDI across America 2008" tour. We swapped a few stories and I showed him my Virginia relics while Nancy and Donna had a nice talk as well. I gave him directions to the gold...

    We took a day off to search for an old gold mine and we found it! :thumbup:

    Things have been a little diffucult as of late, and I have not posted in a while. We decided to take a day off and spend a little time in the woods. Idaho has a rich history of gold mining, and we have a lot of that history not far from us. Hundreds of old mines are hidden in valleys an hills at...

    When you are jumping over a 5-wire barbwire fence, do not just jump 4-wires high!

    I was setting my irrigation water this morning and discovered this tragic sight on my south fence line. Sometime in the night or early morning this poor mule deer doe jumped over the fence and did not quite make it. [attachment 94526 P6120002.JPG] The poor thing had struggled to get free long...

    This is just too wierd, I have been getting calls all afternoon and night from friends and customers who wanted to comfort Nancy because of my death t

    About noon the calls started coming and are still coming. I live in a small town so this is just too creepy. A man with MY full name was killed in a head-on crash along with two of his kids aged 4 and 8 about ten miles from my house. I have my 4 year old grand son here for the weekend and his...

    I found this at a Civil War camp site in Virginia while hunting with Vernon 2 months ago. Would you like to help me find out who this is? :shrug: Myst

    This came from a site that was used by the south and the north. I found it about 10 inches down. I believe it is made of copper. The stamping was done with one letter at a time. It is a name tag of some kind and it might be from a Civil War "Saw bones" (Doctor}. Vernon found a rusty meat cleaver...

    Hey Elson. We have been doing a remodel at an airport. Thought you would like to see some one elses idea of a "Dunebuggy" they had in the hanger. :thu

    The place we are working in does interiors and paint on aircraft. They had a twin Beech, a Moonie, a 206 float plane and some experimentals in there. This 3/4 scale Mustang was soo cool I had to take a picture. What a fun ride that would be! <center> [attachment 88539 mustang.jpg] HH DC

    Vernons pistol grip frame got me a thinkin' about a brass grip frame I found about five years ago In a 1860's ghost town and never even cleaned up. Se

    I have had this in a can of other things found and had forgotten about it. I remember that when I found it I was pretty sure it was from an old pistol of some kind. It is made of brass and has rose wood handle inserts that have a little left. <center> [attachment 88057 right.jpg] It does look...

    We have seen a lot of great finds lately. From Civil War relics to nice silver coins. I would like to announce to you a real milestone kind of find. M

    We got to have our grand kids for the weekend and the sun was out. They wanted to go to a school playground about 4 miles from our house so we went. Anika wanted to take her detector along and try to find some stuff like Grandpa had found in VIrginia. :lol: Anika is 7 and Zakary is 4 so an...

    Well, the DIV boys are done posting so I will return to my Virginia adventure. Where was I ? Oh yah, Day 5 and 6....

    Day five was kind of a lazy day for all of us. Our gracious hosts, the Cross family, were going to take us to the movies, and we were going to take them to a nice place for dinner after the show. We started the day off with a little walk down to the lake made famous by Vernon and his Barbie...

    Day 4 in Virginia, another button for the Idaho Militia...

    Day four of our adventure was on Sunday, so we slept in a little later and then went to church with the Cross family. I found Vernon's singing to be inspiring. I thought the rest of day would be spent relaxing around Plantation Vernon, but we changed out of our Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes and...

    Day three in Virginia, another fine day afield...

    On this day Nancy decided to go to the mall with Sharon and let us hunt without her. Our troops today were made up of Vernon and two of his young ladies Leanne and Sarah. We met up with Mountain Man, or Greg if I want to type less and call him by his name. :lol: The first stop on our hunt was at...

    Day 2 in Virginia...Cows, girls,and finds. :lol:

    Nancy did not hunt with us on the first day of our adventure, she was too tired out from the all night flights and no sleep. She also wanted to catch up with Sharon and the girls at Vernons house. This day she was ready to give the Civil War relics a try. Also on this hunt was Leanne for her...

    It was getting on into the afternoon when we drove to a town to meet Mountain Man, who had offered to let us hunt one of his sites, I will post more later about this fine southern gentleman and relic hunter. We got to the store where we were to meet him and had 45 minutes to kill before he lead...

    The first morning detecting Virginia, and I find a lifelong dream of mine...

    Vernon had made arragements with Mountain Man to meet up and hunt the promised land in the afternoon. We just could not wait so we headed out for a little hunting at some of Vernons sites. I was thrilled to be relic hunting and anyplace would be fine with me! We started out along the road that...

    History lessons are always best when shared with good friends, It helps to have a detector too. :lol: Now here is the first of "My side of the story.

    After four years of trying to get time off from work, I just did it! The time had come when seeing Vernon and family in Virginia could no longer wait. It was a blast! Our adventure begins at 1810 hours. We had booked a flight that was very affordable, we just needed to agree to take some wierd...
