:usaflag: 4 Hour Water Hunt In The Rock Garden Today :detecting:

[Cupajo]

Water at 50F was calm except for ground swells rolling in once in a while.

Wind calm and sun in and out, air temps at 45F and dropping as the day passed.

Hard digging there as always, but there are three rings lost there that I am searching for. (I know all the owners)

Two are wedding bands and one a university ring from the late thirties or early forties.

Today's targets were typical for the Garden with 7 brass wood screws from a long ago wrecked boat no doubt, a few clad coins, 5 junk earrings, a small stering ring and a sterling bracelet along with the requisit junk metal can shards , wire etc.

Hard digging had me perspiring in no time in the still air and the Old Hunter's arthritis acting up toward the end of the hunt made the van a welcome sight.

No gold today, but we Hunters live in hope!

GL&HH Friends,

I sure hope you keep at it as long as you can this year. Sure gives us something to get out of the house. Getting up in the morning, still dark out, all crippled and creaking, thinking about the wind and cold, then, you know old Cupajo's going out today!...

It's amazing to what extremes we can push ourselves to find the good stuff. The religious(?) medal looks interesting. HH!

Goldak, the "good stuff" is so much more than what ends up in a Hunter's scoop!

As an Old Hunter with more than a few years experience behind me I have learned that getting out there in the elements, the exercise, the interacting with people I meet, the finding a little sanity in an insane world are worth more than anything I may dig up.

The recovered finds are just the icing on the cake of treasure hunting for me,
