D2 Scores More Great Finds
rvpopeye replied to F350Platinum's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Oh my goshk ! I realize now that what I posted could have 2 meanings...I'll work on that. I meant envy your field but hope there's a possibility I might find one of those largies somewhere here on the fairgrounds.๐ But , yeah on getting permissions on the fields around here though .A lot of farms here uptah camp are disappearing to development ๐ฉ . I do keep some opening speeches in a notebook to rehearse but there's always room for more . Just meeting them is a half the battle win . I spent some time last summer here volunteering in the pulling/show barn .....ya know, getting my cred's in the livestock community so they might recognize me when I do ask or knock. I was working the sound crew at the same time so got to meet other locals in the fair community . (Including at some of the concessions booths of the non carnie variety ) Plus some of the regulars see me detecting around for the last year. Easy to talk to once they ask if you found anything good . ( Just thinking,,,I am more likely to show someone that doesn't ask though ! hmmmm๐ค) Maybe that would be a good time to ask FOR a permission ? "No, there's not much of anything good here . Do you have someplace with interesting history that I could look on ?" They'd only ask once and might be a few that say "yup yup hook ya up chummy" ! Well , something similar anyway.. You live in a colonial/CW paradise of detecting , guess I'm trying to emulate as best I can but the fair IS 145 years old. ๐ and STILL NOT frozen solid !๐ It wasn't earlier but tomorrow it might be. Clocking as many hours as I can in the meantime. Not sure if the new shovel will buy me more ? arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr๐ดโโ ๏ธ- 39 replies

With all the targets in this place a no-thing day is impossible unless I stay inside.๐ The nox on 50 tones and all metal button sounds like an EVH solo. Think I could play eruption intro if I swing at just the right speed...๐- 39 replies

Hot spot or not. No aluminum would make my day. Nice 100 YO Merc frosting on that 225 YO Largie. Yummmmmmmm !๐ 8 miles 350 ? ๐ฏ Skheeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww . I went out for a couple of hours and only made it about 60 yards from the rig.......massive rain last night into mid morning . 50 kt gusts dried it out pretty quick by noon . Targets were banging ! Easy digging here too. Clad and a 22 casing ..- 39 replies

My Gold Finds Have Changed Over The Years
rvpopeye replied to Nedkelly's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
But you didn't throw it away . ๐ It would be something if all detectors came with claim permissions ! Go show them why they shouldn't have sold it to you .....๐ค Maybe that was the plan all along ????? You pay them to teach them how to use a detector ! LOL Either way , GL+HH -
Hard core beach you detected toad ! I know I'd have fallen in at least once doing that spot ! ๐ Made it pay off you did !

I Think I Lost My Mind!
rvpopeye replied to George Kinsey's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Collections are a sign of maturity and wealth. Or a sign of obsession and addiction. I look at it this way. None of all that , I have something I love and I don't want it to get lonely.๐ค -
Great buncha finds ! OH AYUH ! Whatever you're doing , keep doing it ! It's WORKING !๐คฉ
