For no reason that I can figure out, I put my detectors away one day and just quit treasure hunting. In 2013 I went out around 25 times, and last year I only went twice. If anybody remembers, there was a time when I was obsessive about treasure hunting. A few weeks ago I felt motivated to try it again and went three days in a row. Nothing but clad and very sore legs. But loads fun! While my legs were healing I sorted all the treasure from 2013 and 2014 that was sitting in a coffee can, and got my spreadsheet updated. And I seem to be back at it, at least for now. I was not out of practice and could find as much as ever. (Limited by how long my out of shape legs would go.) Last weekend I dug out my 2500 which I hadn't used in ages after buying an AT-Pro. I fell in love with the old girl all over again, and did three hunts in three days with her. On much stronger legs this time. I began wondering if I should come back to Findmall and post a hunt. I have also been looking at my brag book and inside the front cover are some real swell letters and many coins from a lot of the friends I made here. Ian in the UK. John in Edmonton. Les from Newfoundland. Or Nova Scotia. Awhitster and his brother. Bookbinder? I think they're brothers, and my memory ain't what it used to be. John? from West Virginia, a real stand up guy. There are others and there is, of course, good old Uncle Willy. Rest in peace, Bill. I decided today to post as soon as I found some real treasure and today I found some. The chain is 10k and weighs around 10grams. The Jesus charm is 14k and weighs around 4 grams. Both acid tested as marked. Also my usual clad and I posted the junk because I was digging every signal hoping to find a little of the yellow stuff. (I'm glad I remembered that lesson, actually.) Attached are some crummy photos. I see we are still limited to 420KB. Some things never change. Hope you all are well!
