Finally got out detecting today, it was the first time in months and was mainly just to make sure my gear still worked right. I hit the first spot I ever detected and the reason I started detecting, my grandpops yard. I started finding old bottles and coins randomly digging there when I was a kid working in the yard with with grandpop and over the years found tons of other things with detectors. Today I spent like 30min detecting it, ive hit it plenty of times before with just about every brand of detector. I managed to pull a Wheatie, half a locket, and a modern dime, along with some trash, not great but it might be the last time I detect it since my grandpop died unexpectedly a few months ago and its just not the same detecting it alone. He was my history and coin collecting buddy for the past 28 years so its lost some of its zing. I think I need to find some new cellar holes this fall to get me back in the grove and finally get some time on the Explorer.

Welcome Back! and I'm sorry for your loss. Trust me he's in a better place. I'll bet he would be upset to see you quit so, keep him happy and detect often. He's watching over you...I'll guarantee it

Time is the great healer for all things. You honor your grandfather when you do what you used to do. Call me crazy, but when I do something, or experience something that I know that my father or grandfather would have appreciated, I still talk to them and share the experience with them. They both passed in 2002. Just because they are not there physically does not mean that they are not there...

Yeah it sucks i've lost family before but he was my buddy too, I guess life goes on. Someone already stole a lot of his coins, if it was up to me i'd bury all of his things with him.

Lol well, putting two and two together it sounds like your referring to Kelly. But, I don't see much a resemblance. But then again, One photo is close-up and the other is hard to see. Must be Tampa bay Bucs? Black/red
