NO DETECTING TODAY!

[sddavid]

I have't posted here for some long time - back issues and 73rd. birthday. I use to post here and on White's forum. I got out three days in a row recently and got some quarters and dimes and 5 cent coins and copper cents of course. Even a cheap ring. Then a blizzard South Dakota weather. Anyway I am glad to be able to get out again and am waiting for the snow to go away! I don't normally find "post worthy" treasure, but I will give this a go once again with my clad and occasional score! I use a Tesoro Golden uMax and a Whites M6 and a Whites Classic 1 and Classic 3 and a Fisher 1280 Aqua and a Whites Coinmaster. I will try to post a few pictures. Oh, it is OK to insult me. I am to old to care anymore. Ah, it is so cool to have that attitude

sddavid,
Glad you got out to detect, and glad you posted it.
I like your attitude.
There's an old saying that "You shouldn't p*ss off old people...at their age, life imprisonment isn't really much of a deterrent."

Take care, and happy hunting!

Nice Hunt.
Crazy weather for sure. 80's here today.
40's by Wednesday.
Very happy you're getting out.
Hopefully I can do the same this year.

SDDavid, I spent 3&1/2 years in SD from 1971 to1974, I was stationed at Elsworth AFB near Rapid City.
I remember back in the spring of 1974, early may, getting four feet of snow, the only thing that could move was snow mobiles and national guard large four wheel drive trucks.
What part of SD are you from?

I live in Sturgis at the foothills. Lots of wind through here at times.

Yeah, lots of wind every day in SD, it's so flat there's nothing to block it.

Clad, gold, silver, 1700's era coins, makes no difference what one pursuits if they are happy with doing it. I know about your winters up there having grown up in the Fargo, Moorhead, area. Swinging is good for ones heath, get out there as much as you can. Good to have you back posting. HH jim tn

Hi David,
Glad you were able to get out before the blizzard hit. It will eventually warm up
I know the western side of the state has been nailed hard this spring. My parents are from western
ND and got dumped on with snow this spring. My Dad periodically makes trips to FT Meade in Sturgis as he is a Korean War vet.

Glad you could get out. That's more than just a "dusting" in late April! It should be gone soon. Thanks for posting.

Two weeks ago I had to plow driveway just to get out, mostly melted by late afternoon. Next weekend had a chance to detect on Saturday and snowed Sunday! This week went to ocean and forecast was crappy all week so left detector home, of course we had nice weather Friday and Saturday. Home today expected high 63, 49 tomorrow. Yup, stupid weather patterns for sure!!!!
Do post for those of us stuck in limbo…..
We did have one spectacular sunset tho so I’ll include that “find”! (Me taking a picture of the wife taking a picture of the sunset)
