I Went Back Home Today.

[Nana40]

A couple of weeks ago my bestest childhood friend called and we have been corresponding in one way or another, either by the trusty e-mail or by phone. I have been sending her pictures and telling the stories of metal detecting and she was so intrigued that her hubby went and got her one too! Only problem is that its an Explorer II and she nor I had a clue how to work it. She spent the day learning and I tried to help but not with much success. Told her to watch that video and read that manual! 8) Anyhow we spent all day together and had such a great time! We went to the pasture where there use to be a house and she said that a couple of years ago the place had already been hunted. Well I remember all the stories you guys post about detecting 'already hunted' sites and went anyway. Glad I did! After lunch we went to a church yard where we used to go and found modern stuff. The weather here was perfect and so was the company!

Nana,

Wow, guess your bestfriend does'nt need any help. Sure you didn't plant a few finds to get her interest up. Just joking..Her husband sure went for the gusto! Great finds and thanks for the post.

Thanks ya'll! This was my first half dollar to find so I was happy with it. I do hope to get back there soon. We grew up together there and it was really great to go trapsing through the woods and pastures again....gosh I miss being a kid! There was a horse ranch that we would go to and ride. I remember my Mom being so mad because we would come home all dirty! There are many places that we didn't get to hunt because for some reason the day didn't last long enough. I did manage to get a picture of a REAL cement pond! There I only found a modern penny and some sort of thing I first thought was a pocket watch...but when I opened it....it didn't look like one anymore. And I got a pic of another spot there that we didn't get to. Lots of places to hunt here but....maybe we'll get to it next time.

Thanks again!

Hey Nana. I always love your pictures. Seems like all your places look beautiful.

Love those Walking Liberties. Nice find.

Your friend got an explorer II - wow. Just step up to the big leagues, no minor leagues. The minelab's are a lot different than the whites but great machines. Hopefully she didn't get to frustrated with it.
