Went to the play ground down by the river this morning. I've been on a quest to get all the steel and aluminum out of the playground. Luckily there's not much aluminum but there's a ton of nails, nuts bolts, washers, and short pieces of re-bar left by the workers that built the wooden play ground equipment.
I opened my big mouth and committed myself by telling some pretty mommies a while back that I would get all the nails out of the play ground that could. Now if you want to impress a pretty girl at the play ground, don't show her a gold ring, show her a pile of rusty nails. She'll be putty in your hands.
I decided to be a little more organized this morning. I scoped out an area about 120 square feet. First I went over it with threshold based all metal mode and removed all the real loud signals. That got all the shallow aluminum, larger steel items and smaller steel down to about 4". Now I can be the first person in years to be able to hunt this 120sq ft without all the interference. I started hunting. Still digging deeper aluminum and steel But not as bad and I'm continuing to rid the place of nails. I pulled up one piece of broken sterling silver jewelry and enough clad to pay for drinks and snacks before the soccer games across the street got over. Then I was hot and sweaty and entertaining about 15 rug rats in colorful shorts.
Time to leave. Three hours and all I have to show for it is this broken piece of silver.:sad:
Hay! Wait a minute!
Let's put this into perspective
Before I got my Cibola I was doing good to find one piece of silver every three weeks, let alone three hours.
So I'm happy to have a good time and impress the pretty mommies:clsoedeyes:
Happy hunting
