I agree, the detector against the spade is an iconic picture to anyone that detects. I've often wanted to catch the sun set between the invert 'V' (gap between the detector & spade)

I guess I could post a few photos here; got so many of them its hard to know which ones to post....

Here are a couple of the photos that I use to bring back old memories.

First two photos is from me on one of my searches in Serbia, in the winter of 2004..... the find is a roman wood drill used in the construction of the torn down fort in the area were searching.

Its 630 mm long, the width of the head is 65 mm and the mass is 1927 grams. I just loved searching there, found good iron objects there. Went a total of 4 times to Serbia, all in March or November.... COLD!
Last photo is the drill when it was cleaned up and preserved (by an archaeological company).

The next two photos are of memories in Holland. The first is a field near where I live in the spring, the other is looking out of my front window.

In the second group memories of South Africa (where my wife was born).

You are my indiana Jones of detecting, when I grow up I want to be just like you

And the last three photos are of the area where I grew up in the Antelope Valley, on a ranch in the Mojave Desert of Southern California. I still love that place and love to go back and walk around all my old areas.

That's funny, I always thought when I grow up I wanted to be like you, searching almost every day would be wonderful. But I realize now that I have already grown up, sh--!

Yea I know. You know after living here since 1971 people still ask me where I came from and when I say the Mojave desert of Southern California they always ask "What in he-- are you doing here". My answer is "Women". Been twice married to dutch girls and like it. Do miss the desert very very much, but so is life, you make choices and bear the results, Holland is not bad, but cool and wet instead of warm and dry. Oh well.... maybe in the next life...

The Antelope Valley is quite unique, it is about a hours drive to the snow, and a hours drive to the beach. And you are on a desert. This is an aerial photo of it.

As you can see its in the shape of a V. The V on the underside, that is the San Andres earthquake fault line. The top of the V is also some earthquake faults, but not so big. It sort of looks like a delta, like long ago the sea flowed into the valley, which could be true.

You see on the right side, on the open side of the V, the land is much lower, and that continues to Death Valley which is to the north. When the Sierra Nevada mountains were made the land on the east side dropped, and the mountains raised up. So way back then when the sea was much higher than now, if the sea broke through the point of the V the sea could have flowed for years into the low area.

I kinda liked this one I took last year when we camped at Rifle Falls, north of Rifle CO. Lower elevation on the western slope, so it was hot, up in the 90's. It looks cooler in this pic. This was when I figured out how to blur the water, too.

 

[NGE]

Ohhhh - Kay...How did you blur the water?

Is that pic a panorama or just a regular picture?

Took three pictures, top to bottom, then my Zoom Browser EX program stitched them all together. You are too close, and it's way too tall to fit into a single frame.
