Hunt #15 ....Young at heart but not young...

What you dug up represents a lot of work and I would be feeling the pain also. I tend to hunt at places that allow me to use a relic shovel, like at old abandoned houses/ churches/schools, way out in the country away from prying eyes. It is a whole lot easier on the body. You deserve a few days off, good luck and happy hunting.

When I see the piles of trash that others have dug I have an understanding what was done to dig that pile. Using the Compadre has been a very good learning experience that will follow me for the rest of my detecting days. Its kind of like seeing detecting in a different way. An open and more fun way. A simple and easy way. With an appreciation for the targets you dig, no matter what the target dug is. Thanks for all the tips and tricks.
I should pick up my F70 tomorrow.
Thanks again and Happy Trails.....Z

Thats an impressive junk shot dude!...
Like you said, that represents a huge amount of effort, that can only be fully appreciated by anyone that has duplicated that amount of targets...for that, you are applauded!
Regarding pain, my football coach used to say, "If it hurts, its good for you"..I dont know about that, looking back, as far as I can tell, he was a sadist!.
As a fellow ages, I figure if you wake up some morning and are NOT hurting, you probably died in your sleep!
(my heart and left arm hurt something turrible this am, couldnt hardly log on and type!...so I figured I'd go and die at the beach at sun-up swinging coil at the very end, doing what I love, so I drove on over there taking shallow breaths and driving with my right arm, (left arm paralyzed, made it hard to smoke)...unfortunately, it didnt happen as planned!, so now I'm home and have been given orders to stain the deck! 
Theres worse things in Life than pain and death...like a bad coil, or dead batteries on a good day.....just the thought of that gives me the shivvers! .
I must have passed that clot walking sand this am, for I now feel great! Or maybe the alcohol thinned it out? I stopped and got a boilermaker for breakfast at Tipseys, either way, something worked! If someday a 'Mrs Mudpuppy' logs on here with news of my demise, I sure hope she can give a good account of me and let y'all know I went out swinging coil for the bleachers, and not from dying in the crapper or cleaning the gutters moaning like a little girl!!...Heck, even keeling over in a totlot is better than that!

So I get a Tesoro Compadre rather than swinging my other brand heavy detector all the time, as a way of saving my shoulder.
I was having a blast, but now my knees are killing me from all the up and down digging targets!
It's all fun though. As far as hobbies go, if you're really passionate about whatever floats your boat, you're banging up your body a bit in one way or another. I'd rather have achy knees from digging than sore thumbs from the TV remote!
Cheers
