Hell Yeah !

O. M. G. THAT'S a Cut !😮 (Kinda looks like the homeowners down the beach are probably getting nervous ....)

Nice little piece of engineering. 👍 I'll chance a prediction.... 🤔 That set of diamond earrings it catches will buy you a new Equinox 1000....🤩

I've used them all except for the lavender . Including the net suits . The permethrin dip is awesome. They all work , sort of. Repel40 is my go to , but I have a bottle of the tick spray too , Like I said I use them all,,, Anything is better than nothing in bug war. I swell up like crazy with insect bites. Ticks , not so much but have a tick spoon for easy removal (of the bigger ones),,,agree the tiny deer ticks are the worst , and they are the ones carrying Lyme.... The DEET will definitely melt plastic , I remember the Estwing hammer handles that got slick when I was doing construction back in the 90s. I also found out the hard way it will dissolve the rubber lining in my Grunden$ rain gear ! I wore it over a shirt and pants that was sprayed with deet a few hours earlier , so not just the liquid...😢 You have been warned....arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh ! .. I've also found the lack of ticks at the beaches a nice bonus !

If a picture really is worth a thousand words,,,,that one must be ten thousand words , minimum !👍

So , you're saying a typical day out prospecting ! 😉 Lucky calf too , you saved it .....🤕

Looks like you have a good yard , keep diggin' !

You do have a good point , that good stuff probably weighed too much...🤔

Good info so far ^^ Weight was an issue for my abused old elbows ! I chose a smaller one (T-Rex ) stainless and just put on an old wooden D handle from a grain shovel (which was too big for snow!) As mentioned , the carbon fiber handles are a great choice if you have the $. I'm saving for an upgrade..... There are short clamp on handles that make pulling a straight shaft UP easier ! Get one of them if you go straight any type handles . Slippery when wet. Some people add a pool noodle to keep 'er afloat when wading in above waist water.. this works for the detector too.... Don't forget the sun screen. Happy digging, life's a beach !

Yup yup, Southern NH , I'm in Southern Maine. Explains the resemblance of our woods ! It's gonna freeze up again way too soon , git 'er done and good luck !

A Straight Jacket buckle ? Isn't THAT an interesting find ! Bet nobody has a collection !😉 "well I'm allright now , I learned my lesson well, you can't please everyone , so you better please yourself" Old Ricky Nelson song , but it applies to your posts now....Garden Party IIRC if you want to hear it.

Nice place . I predict you will spend a lot of time there ! What's yer "general area" ? Looks like my woods..🤔

Farmland been berry berry good to you Mon ! 👍

You have another good permission ! Should keep both of ya busy all summer. Like the Marines ,,,"no find left behind".......

Snowed in ! I sure know that feeling🙄 Send them all to BAJA !

Welcome aboard Mark . Nice town to hang out in ,,,,hope ya locate the mother of all nuggets !!!!! 😉

Like VL said ^ ,,,it wouldn't cost ya much to find out ? Hope ya sell a million copies !

I bet it feels great to finally have it finished and in your hands ! Cross 'er off yer bucket list ! 🍀

👍 double likes just for the pictures !

I found a brass ID tag from a one lung marine engine but gave it to the guy that gave permission . I was at my detecting buddy's place !😋

There's another field you two will clean out before I can get there !😵 It's good you can figure out what the finds were though.... So I still "found" out what they were...and my gas mileage was terrific !😉 I just loaded all my gear into the car...and I might be able to get to use it too ! (I think mom has developed psychic abilities , she always calls as soon as I get half way to anywhere to go detecting arrrrrrrrrrgh. Well , except for that time a couple of weeks ago when I made it all the way to the beach and got out the scoop + put my boots on to go down to the sand and there was my detector , GONE ???🙄 Still on the wall in the camper 20 miles away !😢 But I got there so , I guess that counts as a skunk . Cuz pfeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew , It sure did "stink" ! Hey , I'll take it. I DID make it all the way there ! And I stayed for a few minutes for a quick walk down the the water line................ I think I'll ask the maintenance guy at mom's if I can dig up his lawn ! 🤔)

👍 Great backyard , permission automatically included Cool badge Toad !

I guess we're all wondering about the magic settings if you care to share ?😳
