Quickie dawn hunt

I am not working today so obviously I want to detect. Forecast calls for high heat and humidity. I was up at dawn so I figured what the heck. Back to my gold coin site. I was super stoked to finally find another chain. Buried 4 inches deep. Zinc cent signal. Not broken. 16.47g. Marked sterling. Nicely made. Also got the 46 wheat which is number 61 for the year. 50 plus clad coins for around 7 bucks. I made it 1 1/2 hours before the heat kicked up. I got home just as I would normally be going out to hunt. That black thing is a laser pointer. Turn of the century I think!

Here's another story from the strange but true file. I stopped at the store to buy Klondike bars because they are having a great sale. Two packs for 3 bucks, must buy two. This lady in front of me has one pack of Klondike bars which is going to cost her $3.29 and I tap her on the shoulder and say if you buy two of those Klondike bars it will actually cost you less than buying one. She looked confused and I motion for her to follow me. I take her to the display. I say good deal right? She stands there dumbfounded, I pick up a coupon that had a picture of two boxes of Klondike bars and a huge $3 on it, hand it to her, and I walk back toward the line which now has more people in it. The lady goes over to the help desk and the next thing I know the manager is tapping me on the shoulder asking me why I'm harassing this lady and taking her out of line and then taking her spot. I laugh and tell him what happened and he says you know the lady doesn't speak English. I should have known. Luckily the store has a Spanish speaking cashier and she explained to the lady that by buying two she actually saves money and that I was trying to help her. The lady came over and tried to apologize and said gracias or some such and I said to the cashier this is why I shouldn't do good deeds. This whole exchange took over 10 minutes plus a few minutes of the people in line thinking I was harassing this old lady when all I was doing was being nice. Maybe Obama is tight and we all need to learn Spanish. Anybody know how the detecting is in New Zealand?
 
I speak both English and Spanish but she is the one that needs to learn English, you, my friend, did a good deed. HH John
 
We have that problem over here as well language barrier, and we feel the same about it.
Living here necessitates that all speak english.
Nice find Chris, that bracelet looks like another in 1st class nick. WTG.

I suppose it is hard to write sarcastically which is what I was trying to do in my last two sentences. I, of course, don't agree with the notion that we should be teaching all of our children Spanish nor should we allow commerce, of any kind, to be transacted in Spanish or any language other than English. I can not only pick on Obama in this instance either. McCain does not offer solutions to this problem that I feel are acceptable either.

I sure wish I could go out detecting tonight.

Very nice bracelet..Sometime it doesn't pay to do a good deed..:sadwalk:
 
My wife has told me more than once to shut up, they don't understand a word you are saying when I lived in Fl. There is no problem of that, so far, here in WV.

You don't have to worry about an illegal slipping in at the construction site where I work. Ain't no way.
