So…my second day with the Legend. Decided to go down to a seasonal creek on my property that the 1/4 mile driveway to my residence passes over. I have to set the scene…Now when I purchased this place in 2011, this creek area was in a condition that I would describe as the Wilds of Alabama. One couldn’t actually see the creek on either side due to the overgrowth of vegetation. Nasty place…briars, gotcha-vines, poisonous this and that to include Jake. The one good thing is this area has the best soil on my 35 acres. Over one springtime I cleared it all out, and using decent sized limestone rocks from the property constructed two opposing “levees” about 20’ apart, and a dam approximately 3’ high at the most eastern end. I planted a bunch of ground cover, and some crab apple trees, and put in a bench. The whole babbling brook area is about 100’ in length.
So, keeping my find ANY junk settings, I start swinging away. My first find was a nice piece of wire. It looked like a bread wrapper without the plastic covering. Not one to become discouraged so quickly I start swinging away again and I get a hit showing 52 and a nice clear tone. I dig me a hole in some nice soft loamy soil, flip the lid over, and stuff my pinpointer into the abyss. A solid tone with continuous vibration. And there it is…CHA CHING! A beautiful 2017 Frederick Douglas quarter! I snap a pic and send it to Commander in Chief. How does she respond? ‘Wow! Great Job Honey!”, or “Awesome!”. Nope…her motivational response was simply “2017”. Now that’s a ball buster huh? 🤣😂🤣
In one spot I also found several coke cans, a spam can, some glass jars, a piece of nylon rope, and a leather boot. I kinda got concerned for a bit when I found the piece of rope and boot, but I didn’t smell anything rotten. The last item I pulled out of this trash dump was a car shock absorber… I was unable to ascertain make or model.
Tomorrow is a new day! Be Safe!
