    Homecoming!:detecting:

    October is generally the month for all those Homecoming events...So a guy checks all the local schedules the night before and plans accordingly. This is not a traditional metal detecting type of excersize, its more of a run and gun before the Sun, with the detector along as another tool... So...

    I HAD to go back!

    Watched the surf cams throughout the day and noticed around noon the wind was shifting from the Nw to the N and then it spun to the NE...that took a bit of the top off the waves, so at 4:30 this afternoon I hit that spot I was at yesterday...stayed in it til 7:00 It was a cold rain, but I...

    Nailed some nickels, and a little silver.:thumbup:

    one more time at the Habitat

    Got up early and read the forums like usual...56 degrees out, and I was dreading working the water...I swung into that Habitat yard again at sun-up and fired up the 70 to give it another sweep. It had gotten another good raking and some dirt piles sort of scattered down somewhat, grass was not...

    Detecting is good for you!.:detecting: Lick your finds!

    Aside from the thrill of the hunt, excitement, anticipation, excersize, and meditational aspects, theres a bacteria found in soil that once ingested, makes you less anxious and mentally/physically quicker! I tripped across a research paper this week where this common dirt bacteria was fed to a...
