His One Final Tone

[gitterdug]

Didn't know where to put this, but my closest friend died a month ago today. Robert was a devoted Garrett User. This is my way to get some closure, so I ask that the moderators just let the message fade, and not move it. It is my tribute to a good friend and someone who has loved our hobby for 46 years before he died. 12 of those years, he and I went out at least once a week. Thank You for Understanding.

[size=large]Final Tone[/size]

Through All of My Years
Through Hard Sweat and Tears
I Have Travelled This World in Quest

For Bright Silver or Gold
Sometimes New, Sometimes Old
Always Seeking My Gold Filled Chest

But the Treasure I Found
Came Not From the Ground
But a True Friend, the Very Best

Though Hills and Valleys
In Backyards and Alleys
We Searched to Find What was Next

Through all kinds of weather
We Searched Life Together
Till Exhausted, We Would Lay Head to Rest

Now, My Very Close Friend
Came to Life​

Amen.

True friendship IS a most cherished find that can not be replaced.
I wish you peace and solace in your future hunts.
I am sure your friend does and will be watching and smiling with each target you dig.
