My 2019 Georgia Trip??

[Joe D.]

Made my annual deer hunting trip with my 84 year father and we did very well! Only hunted evenings this year! We also do a fair amount of property maintenance, and stand relocation during the day! Dad mostly works in a supervisory role now!?

I detected most mornings for a couple hours each day! I sampled several new locations which included 2 parks, 2 playgrounds, 1 baseball field, and one farm field where i have sight hunted for flint and arrowheads in the past! The ball field i found both rings about 10 feet from one another on the same pass! Both signals were iffy, but i was digging most everything anyway! The one looks to be and engagement ring! Ill have to get the stones checked!

The playgrounds and parks only produced modern coins! It seems that the silver and low conductors had been cheery picked, because i found no nickels, silver, or gold there! Oldest coin was 1960 D penny! 

The other items were older, including lead, copper, and bronze, and iron! and a few toys that were pre 1960! 

The farm field produced the maddock, and some flint pieces, but no arrowheads this time around! Found some of the copper and slag items on the site of an old tobacco barn on same field! But this area was heavily covered in nails, so tough hunting!

I only spent a limited time at each due to time constraints! But intend to return next season to finish them off!??

Looks like a great trip. Not sure why you lost the post. The editor normally holds work in progress even if you log off and back in as long as you don’t start a new post somewhere else. For real long posts however doing offline and pasting in when done may be safer for some people depending on the hardware and browser in use. Anyway, I’m sorry to hear about the lost effort.
