As most of you know, I haven't been out much at all the last two months. I had a lot of work to do at the house today but I wanted to try to go detect for a while beforehand if the weather allowed. I got out even though it looked like it was going to pour at any minute. In fact, during most of my hunt, it misted off and on, borderline "get back to the car" weather. I managed to snag a few keepers, plus fifteen wheaties and a couple other early Jeffs. After about two hours, I got caught by the torrential rain halfway from the garbage can to my car after throwing away the trash. Just in time! What great weather to be inside, preparing cabinets for new paint.

Take care guys!

Joe

Nice silver Joe. If it didn't pour we would have seen more pics from that quick hunt. John would be my bet to guard your spot, just keep his DFX in your car and his cell phone also so he doesn't call Brett. WTF as Lowbatts would say!!!
