I know what you mean, I sometimes get excited by breaking $3 in clad. then someone asks how much I have found so far for the day and I tell them almost a $1 and they think that I am crazy.
It's the specials ones (a few this year so far) that make it all worth while. I used to golf. One good shot brought me back for another round. But a silver quarter or a merc dime beats a good round every time!
I've been self employed for many years and have work for less and a hole lot more.
First mistake is calling it work.
Second is keeping score.
We do this to keep us sane, but you already know this, so thank your partner for the great walks and stay focused.
Great pile of clad Bud, glad you got out!
Thanks, everyone, for all the encouragement. Don't get me wrong, I completely appreciate the clad!
Why, the detector has paid for itself many fold, just figuring the clad!
I get a little bored with *only* clad, but, who wouldn't. We all need that one find that makes everything worthwhile, once in a while.
I'm just apologizing to those who find posts about clad, boring.
