A good day's showing right there !  Great spot to detect ,,,🤩

I see there's a nice storage "trunk" on your new walker  there 350 !  🥸

I try to keep the car close by but sometimes just leave the iron by the nearest road/path and drive back to collect it all.

I like EVH shreds as much as the next guy but yearn for some Slow Hand so I can have a chance to find the elusive "golden pick" !😏

Sometime back in the 80s , Micronta Discovery II ( made by Bounty Hunter).

I found a diamond ring with it in deep snow . But the owner told me where to look.😏 

Rekindled interest 4 years ago.

2 Carrots = are you sure you need another PP ?🤔

Want= Well that's something different isn't it  ?

Welcome aboard and good luck hunting whatever you decide ! 

Yo hoh 🏴‍☠️ 

That was one heck of a good hour !

🏴‍☠️  🖖👍🏴‍☠️😎

Or that ^

Depending on where you are , a  small "campfire"  or even a hibachi might be a good option.  Kinda slows you down but so does the ice. Hot water will probably make things worse ...

You found some cool stuff !

The child's sword got me thinking (uh oh) , I wonder if self defense was a more serious thing in that time period and children , especially well to do ones , were trained as part of the home team due to whatever marauders were currently a threat ? 

Fencing has been around a long time also..  

I think you should expect it to be waterproof .That's why it exists IMO.

A little cold country tricks (and I'll probably be in trouble for printing it) when you find something in frozen ground that sounds SOOOOOOO good ! Cover it with a tent or ? and heat the inside, another less prepared one is park a vehicle with the muffler over it and take a coffee break...🥸 "I've found you my precious!" or a pull tab 🙄 

Geeze Gerry ....wrap up post is all days in one amazing.🤯 

I hope the trip planner gets a bonus for knowing location location location ! 👍

(I assume you must have taken that detector training course those guys up in Idaho do ,,,, maybe even more than once?)🤔

That gold ring is a stunner , even with already seeing it when you first posted the find ! At first I thought "OMG , he found another one ! "🤑 

And a couple/three to keep it company this time too ! 😜

I'm sure the difference in the finds would go a long way to offsetting the future cost difference of the higher end over the average places ?

(I've played the work "vacations" card (for 30 years straight) and the actual tax savings on the deduction is WAY less than that deduction was....) You COULD do it full time , well assuming the trend towards "el cheapo" wedding rings fades out soon.....

Yeah, but like real gold they're disappearing fast. 😵 Already wiped out one side of the road, subsequent detecting has not returned much.

As it should be.....

Mud Boots , Mud Boots , Mud Boots !  Yum yum , dig 'em up ! (old 3 stooges "almost a quote")

It's probably not on any map but you live on top of a gold mine of finds....🤯

HOW did I miss this thread ? Now I just used up all of my likes  ! 

Talk about Merry Christmas ! Even your yahd is giving you presents ! 

I always expect "something good" when you post your out front yahd finds . 

Your yahd sure outdid itself this hunt though ! OOOOOie ! 

Welcome aboard stephent !

Looks like that new 700 has brought you here to the best place to get up to speed on it ! So it must work well. 

Has it helped you find anything else ?   Use the power of all the experience gathered together here in one place ! Posting finds here usually brings comments about them  which can reveal previously unknown value as treasure . arrrrrr🏴‍☠️

Don't be shy ,ask your questions and good luck out there on the hunt.

welcome to the group gilgsn !  Glad that you found a winner and some beer and that they went well together! Hope whichever detector you chose will be a winner to. It's hard to pick one that isn't these days... 

Spending some time on the forums here will make that decision easier no doubt. There's a huge amount of detecting info to go over and more posted every day ! There's a Nokta only forum (bet you already found it)!  If you want more clues on detecting in general , check out Steve's Guides

Good to hear about gear that works as advertised Skull ! 

I might have to research those "endless tanks" sounds like the key for the shallows.

Better that you got the settings tuned in time for the finds !

Good hunt Compass !

All the food groups too.

Nice pile of yellow , the scorpion is stunning.  

You'll remember that one for a long time !🖖

Me Likey ! 👍

Cold or hot, I wouldn't care . It's all about the dirt.  Which,,,i guess always looks better on the other side ? 😏 

I would have driven right past you to get away from that cold !  But looks like  it's not to be this year...arrrr  yer safe for now matey .

Actually it hasn't been all that bad ,,,so far.  A very Weirdo Winter ,,,again.

That reminds me , I need to go out and see if the shovel bounces back or pushes in ....

R U a player ?

I originally picked them up cheap to practice set ups and other luthier skills to make me more valuable on a tour . Plus I was designing the electronics for a builder prototype guitar and a test subject was needed , The high end customs weren't something I felt comfy to possibly messing up the finish .

Combined with.

My job got easier and I was more in demand when  I learned how to put perfume on pigs . (which way too many musicians were on instrument or vocals).

So now that I'm retired I figure I can make myself sound better than I am just as easy ! 

Old Stones , Keith was magic with only 5 and openG  maybe a little Thorogood and  Gibbons for desert. Mostly just for shits and grins .

I'm currently collaborating with a key player writing songs about clams.  Real serious stuff 😜It's true I tell ya !  

I don't sleep with it like some do if that's what you're worried about ... besides there's two of them and I only have a single bunk.🤔

Merry Chriskmask !  

Hey guys he can't go back and change the story now , this is the real part remember ?   

Or CAN he ?   hmmmmm GM , you're not one of those alien fellas come here to mine our planet arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ya ? 🧐

50s ? That was 20 years ago ! 

I spent most of my life in bars ,and you're right . I learned 50 years ago that all the good ones were taken..

Someplace else  ! They sure weren't in those clubs ! Arrrrrrr
