4-H Mike and I both live in NC but about 4 hours apart. We've been trying to get together to detect since last year.
Yesterday we finally met at one of Mike's spots. Folks, it was out in the boonies! I could have made a killing selling my teeth to the locals if you know what I mean. My "Indiana Hoosier" (Yankee) front license plate and Toyota truck stuck out like a sore thumb.
Mike was quick to offer to drive. Wonder why? 
Mike and I hit four spots of his, and I enjoyed getting my tail kicked at every one of them.
The grass was high at two of them, so I'm using that as my excuse for my sad finds. Mike on the other hand is a master with his Minelab, and was popping 1800's buttons out every time I looked over. $OB!!!
I told him if I go home with nothing it will be quite embarrassing.
At property #1, I dug a large iron ring with a hook. We believe it was to hang a kettle from. I gave it to the property owner. At property #2, I got a lantern piece and some rusty square nails. 
Property #3, I finally dug an 1800's flat button. At property #4, which was fairly new to Mike too, I dug a medal in the field right away. Mike disappeared like David Copperfield. 
He called me on my cell and guided me across a huge field to a spot he had located where an old house once sat. Pottery shards, bricks, old iron, etc. were everywhere. I was supposed to leave to head back home about 3:30 pm, but didn't get on the road until about 5:30pm. 
Time flies when....................
I'm hoping to get back to that last field again if Mike can put up with me. I just know there are going to be some good finds out there!
Thanks again Mike. I had a great time!!! You are always welcome to hunt my spots when you can make it over.

P.S. The family was still eating dinner when I got home, so I did o.k.
