yeah, i been slackin'.....

[GRAY GHOST]

hi everyone, iv'e been slacking lately for a number of reasons. summertime is not my best time of the year to go detecting, and never has been. i prefer old forgotten homesites, field hunts, and deep woods hunts where things used to be and happened. lots of research and asking around is involved in the way i play, so i use the summer months to do just that.
i also use this time of the year to get all my permissions straight and in order for the year. i'm looking into several hundred acres, with several different owners [and personalities], so getting thru that might be a chore.
i went out for a short while yesterday and recovered 3 civil war bullets - all .58 cal. 3 ringers. i was really surprised to find a clad 1965 quarter in the middle of the hunt! you just never know, do you? hh,

YOU SLACKER YOU!!! I can't blame you for not detecting much. I went out Saturday and after about 12 hours straight hunting (I eat and drink as I swing, addiction you know), I was paying the price when I got home. But not without results! Will post later. I guess we all could learn a lesson on what to do during a down time, and when to hunt. Hot weather is down time (future research and reconnaissance), Winter is a down time (library research), every other time is DETECTING TIME, yippee

How you doing..Well I hope....I have been doing lots of hours at work, but that now finished..Got out detecting, found some muscles I forgot I had.

Do you have to worry a lot about poison snakes in your area ?? I have a friend in the Southern State of Georgia and he says their pretty bad there...and your even further south................I would have a heart attack and die on the spot if one just struck at me..let alone bit me..

hi elton, good to hear from you. no, i don't worry too much about poisonous snakes... they'd better worry about me. i've killed several copperheads and a couple of cottonmouths. these snakes will come after you, so in each case i was defending myself. i try to stay out of the woods in the summer because of snakes, the heat, and ticks. any one of them can be just as bad as the other. i don't bother non - poisonous snakes.
well sure, if you want to hear some stories, i'll compose and post them up. you know me...i'll do it! i'm having an awful time with kodak easy share. it should be called "not so easy share". but i'm looking into picasa now so i can post up some of the collection, the scanner is ok, but not giving the quality of pics i'm looking for. thanks, and hh,

Hi EL , I got a DetectorPro Pirate . I did take it out a few minutes this evening and had no luck. I guess I really should read the instructions, LOL. First time out I got constant chatter no matter what settings I used . I am hoping to get just a little time to play this weekend
