The girls and I started out early this morning ,despite the rain and drove about 25 miles north,when we passed a fairgrounds...The girls started yelling"Mama,there is a man detecting!" We couldnt believe it as we never see anyone detecting! So I drove right up to where he had a nice hole started. I jumped out and walked right up and boy...did he look annoyed. Like "who is this nut and what stupid questions is she going to ask!" LOL... I asked him what he had and told him that I had hunted this spot earlier and was just stopping because we never see anyone else detecting. Then asked him if he was with a club and he said ,No..but I am with Treasurenet. I started laughing and said "me too!" . He reached to shake my hand then and said he was Groundfisher. Then I told him I was Gypsy and we both started laughing....
Once he figured out I wasnt some nut ( ::)) he told me about a city wide block in the oldest part of town that had two old houses torn down...plus it was the site of the oldest jail. Yeehaw...I said "lets go!" So I followed him over there ,in which he and Cheyenne prompty whomped me with their finds....They both pulled out wheats within minutes.,while I was busy digging tin and rusty nails. Then I found the Palmolive token and evened the score....until John pulled out an Indian...Old Indian. But I will let him tell about that.
We hunted a couple of hours ,but then the rain started coming down and the girls were hungry. We will both be back to hunt that site before they build the new bank and pave it all over. So it was a great day,I got to hunt and meet a really nice guy and hopefully can hunt with him again. Of course this is my version...hahaha...we will see what his story is!

Nice find and lucky you running across a good fellow not some weirdo. I dunno what I'd do if I ever saw anyone detecting around here-it just doesn't happen.

Cheers,

Jesse
