So my brother was watching Diggers last fall &

So hes laying on the couch and remembers his Ace250 that's been in the closet for yrs. Well since than he and that 250have been on fire. Deacons 62 and goes out about 4 hrs a day. He hunts the woods the fields and old coal mining areas. Sometimes he overlaps and touches up some of my parks. (That bugger?) Anyways he found some old silver rings and fell into some nice pockets of clad! The best of this story is it got him up off his rear. Hes lost 20 lbs and can do knee bends all day. Oh and yeah yesterday he digs up 4 Indian Heads in one hole. This was along a old coal mine tracks. Some sport huh?

Probably one of the better rewards of metal detecting is that it gets a person "up and moving". Congrats to your brother on his nice finds. Looks like you may have to go out with him and dig a few of those Indian Heads for yourself.

I made a deal 20 years ago with my wife. I get a detector if I quit smoking. The rest is history. It feels good to feel alive and no more shortness of breath.

Thats very cool! Nothing I have found gets a guy in shape like detecting!

I sure enjoy a single cigarette right after digging a silver. Kinda like that "glow" after,,,,well use your imagination. I think I would have to cheat on my wife if I had one at that moment after pulling a good silver.

Glad he's doing some dirt fishing and getting healthier.
