Hey folks. Haven't posted in a while. Been a crazy month or two.
Our son was born in the beginning of April, and my wife spent the better part of last week in the hospital.
All of this has been pretty stressful to everyone in the family, especially our 8 year old daughter.
Which bring me to this story.
I came home from work a couple days ago and only had a little daylight to mow our extremely overgrown yard. Well, my 8 year old came to me in tears telling me about losing her locket at school. Her great grandmother gave her the locket for Christmas this year, and it was special to her.
My daughter did her best telling me roughly where she remembered scratching her neck while playing on the playground at school. She remembered grabbing the necklace while scratching and vaguely remembered it coming off. She looked for it but couldn't find it.
Being short on time I drove to the school and looked for a minute without my detector. I realized I needed a closer idea of where to look before it got dark.
I drove back home and my daughter drew me a "map" of where she was when she realized the necklace was gone.
So back to the school I go. I get the Vaquero out of the trunk and bee-line it to where she said she was. Did a very quick and sloppy ground balance, sensitivity at 1 and Discrim just above iron.
Within a minute I got a strong signal, reached down to brush some gravel away, and saw this.
The look on my daughter's face was priceless when I got home and showed it to her!
That's the only 'tecting I've done in quite a while, but it was my best hunt yet.
