[GB_Amateur]

On the second day of searching, my 'tector gave to me, two worn out gloves....

[Swampstomper Al]

On the 2nd day of beepin' my buzzy stick gave to me, two copper slugs...

[Randy Lunn]

This one’s for you Mitchel:

On the first day of Christmas my true Zed gave to me ....

            .... a specie near a pine tree.

2nd Day: Two bottle caps

3rd Day: Three hair pins

4th Day: Four screaming nails

5th Day: Five Golden Rings

6th Day: Six cans a-rusting

7th Day: Seven screws a-singing

8th Day: Eight foils a-fooling

9th Day: Nine bullets beeping

10th Day: Ten tacks a-tweeting

11th Day: Eleven lead bits laughing

12th Day: Twelve coins a-smiling

 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good hunt.

[Lanny]

On the second day of detecting, my detector gave to me, two bottle caps, and a copper BB in a tree.

All the best,

Lanny

Randy has put up a leader!  Thanks Randy.

On a day by day basis, if you feel the need to suggest a lyric change do it or ... you can submit your own 12 days of detecting.

Ok.. There was a lot of good stuff the first day, but I think the one that came the closest in intent of remaining true to the song and rhymeology was cabelafella. With a small tweak we end up with:

...a cartridge 'neath a bare tree.

I'd like to be able to use "in" but nothing really makes sense when it comes to 'tree detecting..' If anyone can find a single syllable tree name that rhymes with "pear," please post it.. Otherwise Fir or Pine or Oak may be a better choice than "bare;" even though we'll lose the rhyme thing we retain a tree name..

The best I can come up with using both "in" and "tree" is:

...a cartridge in some tree debris, or,
...a cartridge in a tree's debris.

Frankly, out of those I like "...bare tree" better..

So c'mon peeps -- put your brain's power to use..!
