Quoting the newspaper story --- the guy found them "on his first outing with a metal-detector – only seven steps from his car."

Park car. Get out of car. Turn on detector. Walk seven steps. Beep and dig. No sweat.

(Sounds easy.)

Cheers,

Joe

When you get a feeling of where to park, it’s smart to go with it.

Maybe it would be lucky to just shoot a bullet up in the air and then go find where the Boone & Crockett elk fell??? Naw, but thinking the odds are nearly the same…… lol
