This is my 'Todays Finds'! They are not all in the dirt metal per se, but hey, you gonna hunt treasure or what?
I got up early and read the Forums, then hit the local schoolyard, empty cans all over the place signaling a sporting event from the day before!
Cans here are 10c each, so I scarfed up 21 of them..along the way I grabbed up this Avia hoodie, retails for @35.00...then I eyeballed this little bag inside of which was 9 fresh dimes!
As I bounced across the field, I swung the F70 hot and fast, sniping up clad, got a lot of Q's, @5 bucks worth of coins..hit the Kazoo midfield, as I was checking all signals looking for a gold chain, gold ring, silver chain, or silver ring...
Headed home around 10am, stopped at the store to cash in the cans, on the way home I spotted this chair sitting out along the road in the trash...I drove on by and got to thinking, "that's a rich mans place, and that might be leather"...so I impulsively mashed on the binders, turned around and went back! Glad I did! Its a 'Bradington Young, Jefferson Executive' swivel rocker! Retails for 1150.00! It was sort of sloppy in the base, but with a screwdriver and 5 minutes of work I had it fixed!
Anyway, not all valuable treasures are metal and under the dirt, a guy can pay off his rig and finance future hunts with just one good score like this chair. Come to think of it, I have not bought a pair of shoes, towel, lighter, sandals, fishing weight, knife, umbrella, folding chair, pop-up tent, thermos, cooler, jewelry for the Wife, in the past 4yrs of my career of detecting! A fellow just never knows whats out there for the picking, and having a detector gives a guy an excuse to go look!
