Been waiting 4 days on this well I'm on, having hole problems. Since I bring my metal detector with me and weather was nice the wooded area behind the the wellsite and the creek bottom was just begging me. It is a moderately brushy area, very little grass and a lot of dried leaves. And these oaks dropped hugh acorns 2" x 2", biggest things I've ever seen. The woods are about 30 yards to the creek bed which is about 12 feet deep and 20 feet wide. Clear blue-green water trickling along. There are two interesting features in the area. One was a faint road in the woods to the creek, probably used at one time to go parking with your date. The other is the remains of a cable suspension walk bridge that's collapsed into the creek. Using my Prizm IV, I worked my way to the suspension bridge but found nothing. Then down in the creek bottom up stream searching the drier parts, then back past where the bridge would have hung. Didn't find anything but a few bits of trash. Climbed back up and eyeballed that faint road and finally got a quarter signal. I said to myself, "Really?" Sure enough on the surface under the leaves was a 1997 quarter. Checking again within inches were three cad pennies. That felt pretty good even if they were cad. Continuing down that lane about three feet was another quarter buried about an inch. That was all the money I found. But working the woods themselves I found three different caliber cartridges, a Buck knife that would still open and the wood is still on the outside but saturated, a saddle cinch(?) it's 3" round with a straight piece that goes into a hole in a strap, a stainless steel 6" x 6" baking pan, and a 4 tined garden tool a broken handle. Of course there is the trash thats been dumped here and there that provides interesting rumaging also. No way to get pics on-line from here. I sure enjoy reading all your posts and wanted to share, too. HH! John
