Short hunt at Longs Grove

[laplander]

Laplander, y'all killed it on that virgin site. When you find a site such as this it is not only fun to relive the moment you found these old coins and artifacts, but to dream about what is left in the ground under the high brush just waiting for your coils to go over once the brush does back. Congrats to you on some very nice saves and Continued Success to yall.

Thanks Confetrit Its funny you mention dreaming about a site I start wondering about the people who were there and what they were doing back in the day.

That's funny Des your the first to mention my play on words, very quick Mate! Long and short I am going to be detecting in the U.K. in less than 30 days, looking forward to the trip as always!
Cheers Jeff

True story Jeff!!! Been 30yrs since I clapped eyes on any of those two guys!
Just searched them on Face Ache and found one of them alive and well and is a 'singer, songwriter, film maker, performer'
And a huge coincidence: on his Face Ache page he features two 'villages', that I only passed thru about a week ago!

I reside in Ireland by the way Jeff and occasionally get across to the UK (love Norfolk and Devon, Cornwall)

That what I remembered Des that you lived in Ireland. Really enjoyed your work on MLO TV, Cutting edge entertainment mate.

Good stuff Jeff. They are all nice finds, but I have to agree....that dime is sweet! Always nice to see guys expressing the importance of research, and putting their plan into action in the field. HH Randy

I appreciate the kind words Jeff. But I must give credit where credit is due. I may have introduced you to the Equinox before others had ever heard of it. And I may have helped set up your first blind date. But you are the one who taught her how to dance. And boy oh howdy, can you ever make her dance! Having the determination to learn (and master) new detector technology requires a unique skillset. When you combine that skillset with the inquisitive spirit necessary in researching places to hunt, it becomes an unbeatable combination. And you, my friend, have that unbeatable combination. HH Randy
