Good evening everyone. It's been a tough 09 and a cold one here in Ohio. Jan 16 my son lost his house. Then, my wife had to leave unexpectedly to fly overseas because my mother in law is not doing well. She is 88. She will be gone 2 months. Expense after expense :-[ Since I am a home owner and an independent truck driver I really have my hands full. I just returned from a 7 week trip and logged over 7000 miles. Glad to be home. My son and daughter in law will be moving out within a few weeks to start a new life, again. Thanks to everyone who gave me moral support and donations as it was not necessary but greatly appreciated.

Anyway, I had to get out as it has been a while. The wether here will be 70 Sat. The ground is thawed and prime from detecting. My first hunt of the year was not to impressive. 1 1950 wheatie, a 1960, and a 62. , a church medallion of some kind, a harmonic reed, and a ford something ??? I have a lot of places lined up I just have to get permission. My old places are nearly hunted out. Time to move on to some virgin ground

Thanks for looking and Happy hunting Ron


Fire are Ugly and a killer. BE CAREFULL

Things will get better Ron.......
Seems like everytime a person feels like they
are doing well, something happens to spoil it.
Keep on keeping on and things will improve. You
may feel rusty but you never forget how!! HH

Not a bad start for 09! I'm also off to a rough start, LOL. Since your wife will be gone for awhile it might be nice to have the kids stay around and watch the homestead and save a few months rent. I hope they had insurance and were treated fairly!!! I can't believe you don't take the detector with you on the road as it would be great exercise after a long drive. The big rigs here in Germany are underpowered, drive slow (50mph) and congest the highways. The drivers are only allowed to drive so many hours before a forced break and they have those graphs under the speedometer that log time and speed. The bassturds can go back on a driver's log 7 years and fine them for speeding. HH, Mike

I'm glad its turning around for you and your family. My Grandma always loved to say that God never gives you more then you can handle but sometimes I wish He didn't have so much faith in me. I got out yesterday for the first time this year too, didn't find squat and didn't care. It has been a long winter and it felt great to be outside without 5 or 6 layers on.

Most of the rules here are all about money. Logs are mandatory. drive 11, take 10 off in the bunk until you reach 70 hours then you have to take a mandatory 34 hours off to get your 70 hours back. Everyone fudges their logs in order to make money. The government is so stupid. They don't know what it's like behind the wheel of one of these 80,000 pound loaded beasts and to live in one away from home for weeks on end. Thanks for the encouragement. They will be moving next week. It is nice to have them near by to watch my property though. They are starting to buy things; TV, furniture, etc. from the insurance money. Time will heal the wounds though. It was 72 here yesterday. Nice summer whether for Ohio. Thanks Mike

Hey Ron,

If you were out hunting in the snow, then you are one crazyjarhead. Man, I dont know if I could go 7 weeks on the road without detecting. I'd be PMS'ing pretty bad. Do you take your detector with you when your out on the road?
