Popular Post 1515Art Posted May 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2021 The new nf coil only found a skunk today and the only gold found by my son was the tiny nuggy I planted for him to find with his new 2300 so he’d begin to get an idea what to listen for. It was planted alongside the edge of a small bush, I had him fire up his detector and started him swinging on another bush nearby. When he made it to the right bush as expected a little hi lo sounded out and he missed it, I had him go back and he ran the coil over it a couple times and then asked what’s that?, lol. So now he knows, he dug tiny trash no doubt if he’s lucky enough tomorrow when we take the grandson out he’ll find one then? the grandson (6) wants to go find treasure so I’ve got a flat shiny just under a gram we’ll hide for him to find, I think he can probably swing the Deus OK, video to follow. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, thankfully, I am able to live my GPX 6000 ‘dream’ and not just be waiting for the container ships to unload. That’s hard for you guys in the States. Got out for about 1.5 hours this arvo before dark. About a dozen lead shot, some large rusty bolt heads and nails and a little bit of the right colour. I assume Memorial Day is very similar to our ANZAC Day and is a time for thanks and reflection of those that have served their country to keep us safe and free. In that context it’s not appropriate to say ‘Happy’ Memorial Day but I do hope you all have a good weekend, get to spend some time with your loved ones and enjoy the solitude or comradery that prospecting brings you ? Cheers, NE. How did you get out ??? Victoria is locked down ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasatchau Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Count me in Gerry. Today is just a picture from the park in my backyard. Tomorrow is for the veterans in our family. Thanks for doing this. It means a lot to those who have family that served. J 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mn90403 Posted May 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2021 My metal detector picture today includes a flag for a number of reasons. I'm proud of my country and my family. My mother was a Navy nurse in WWII and she met my dad who was a Navy pilot after the Battle of Midway. She had a brother who was shot down on Jolo Island in the Philippines near the end of the war. My step-dad was a Navy Seabee who landed on D-day and also saw action in the Pacific. My Aunt was in the Army in Algiers. My brother was a navigator for a Navy vessel in the 70s. Some of my uncle's air training as a radar operator in his P-61 Black Widow was in California and Arizona at temporary bases. I have some letters of his he wrote to my mom and there is a good chance that some of the areas where I find gold and WWII 35 and 50 cal shells were from his planes. I look up and wonder if he had looked down where I'm searching. Thank you Gerry for reminding me that I need to honor their service and legacy more often.
