I set out after work to detect a grass field but, as I drove by a plowed field I want to hunt, it looked solid and not so muddy. We are coming out of winter and it has defrosted, LOL. I tried detecting this field, within a few steps into the field I was already in 6” of mud and committed. I went for higher ground but ran into even deeper mud and sank about 12” down. I actually started to panic as it felt like quicksand and getting out wasn’t easy. I found some stabile ground where I only sank a few inches and detected what I could. I had just dug a zinc swastika coin when I noticed someone walking up on me in the middle of the field. It was comical as this person did not expect the mud, he had tennis shoes on and already had 6” of mud up his pant legs, watching him work his way up to me had me laughing. He introduced himself and I had remembered him as he has documented/filmed several of our medieval parades I have been involved with. He wanted to film me detecting and ask a few questions along the way. I did not really want to be interviewed under the conditions but having seen him walk up to me through the mud, I gave in. He filmed me detecting and finding a few pieces of junk. It will be posted on his web site, if I don’t like it I will invite him to a better hunt in much better conditions and ask him to delete that video. I looked at the web site, he is really busy documenting local events. http://www.paradies-oberpfalz.de/ The site is in the German language. I may or may not post the link if he posts my detecting video, could be embarrassing. LOL. HH, Mike Video came out good, here's the direct link. http://www.paradies-oberpfalz.de/index.php?videosache=102&vdetails=1
