I followed WHADIFIND's sage advice to just go where I was led. I passed several places and ended up at a school I haven't been to in a while.

First signal a 66' nickel, a good sign. Second signal only 4 ft. from the truck, a Tweety pendant, the loop looked like gold, but Tweety was dirt encrusted, it was a solid nickel signal.
I figured GP at best, kept detecting, time was limited. Clad count was lower and trash was higher than normal, but I got out detecting And that was my goal!
Cleaned up Tweety later, what I thought was GP is...(drum roll please!)... 2" long and 5.4g of 10 K gold! :eek::D. WOO HOO!!!

Well NOW!!! Welcome to the gold finder's club!! That is truly awesome!

I'm glad if I helped in any fashion. But, really, it gets quite difficult discerning what HE wants you to do as opposed to what you want. Just keep at it, you'll see that it gets easier to tell.

Looks like you've got batteries sewed up for a spell now!
congratulations! :)

Now, wouldn't it have been funny, if you had found a different bird.

I could just see Ms"beepbeep" finding a "road runner". ;)

WHADIFIND- It was hard staying out of his way, but well worth it!
Anything in gold was a welcome sight!

DD- Thanks! It was the "only" animal around, alive or otherwise!

Trapperat- Thank you!

Jeff- Thank you! Even the odds can't stay away for ever

Professor- Thanks! The signal was surprising solid both ways.

ATW-Thanks! Having the ground thaw out was great! Can't dig as many targets when you have to chisel each one.

Ply- Thanks!

Gearjammer- it was a fowl kinda Day for us, but the weather was great! I'll be checking your post.

Scrappy- Thank you! I wasn't sure it was gold till I cleaned it
It's all good, we're all like minded or we wouldn't be on T Net :sly:


Thanks guys! I finally feel like things are looking up!
I'd do the happy dance but it would scare the neighbors! :D
