Hi Gang,
Yesterday I introduced my soon to be 19 year old grandson to water detecting!!! He thought it was the best thing since MTV and X-Box!!! Wow Grampa when can we go again??? 7 this AM "you wanna go you better get up and grab a quick snack" (ME Telling Him of course!!). In the water by7:20 (forgot to dry out gloves and jacket, so) cold and ready to go home by 8AM!!! Fog's burning off and a few minutes sunlight on the dark waders and he's good to go another round. A 1/2 hour later gets his first ring!!!(Junk, but who cares??) Beer can, clump o junk iron, odds and ends.
Meanwhile Grampa, waist deep and picking up bits of dross (hunting a hunted out area) is proudly watching. 21/2 hours from goin in he's headed my way not looking very happy, as he say's "I'm sorry Grampa I tore a hole in my new waders. (Seconds later I had a small 10K gold ring in my catch all, and a heavy silver gold filled band followed a few minutes later!!! He, wet and cold loaded his gear in the van and I reluctantly pulled out for home!!!
You-all be the judge.
GL&HH Friends,
