This evening I got home from work tired as usually and not wanting to do anything. When me neighbor called and said his brother-n-law had lost his keys.
I thought sounds like a challenge to me especially in the dark,so I grabbed my MD with my super 12 coil and off we went. When we arrived there at his house he told me the story of how he was brush-hogging his pasture with his tractor and his keys that he used to start it had fell out of his ignition somewhere out here in this pasture and he had only made a couple of passes. I asked why didn't it die when they fell out then he showed me the tractor that look like it was from the dust bowel or something (really old) he said you can put any key in it to start it and they must have fell out. The keys had his house,barn,truck,car and shop keys on them. He had been looking for 3 days every evening and had walked it 4 or 5 times looking with a rake. He showed me where he started brush-hogging. I fired up MD in a pasture I new there wouldn't be much trash,so beings it was dark all I really had to do was listen for a good solid hit. We walked about 30 ft and and my little bad boy sounded off. I said well there defiantly something here pulled the depth finder and I could tell it wasn't deep,they shined there flash lights down at my coil and I reached into the tall cut grass and BINGO
I pulled out his keys. He was speechless
and I was the man.
It was awesome he told me if I ever needed anything to give him a holler and he would loan or help me anyway he could.

to you! The farmer might know of old homesteads that were in fields, neighbors fields, etc. One good deed always brings back ten fold. I would never think of taking any reward money. Like Phil stated, I too would much rather have an old site to hunt. Also bettering the reputation of all metal detectorists (my new word). Thanks! Nancy
