Ok, here goes..... I have been involved in many hobby's in my life. Most I still do, hunting, fishing and camping. For 18 years I owned a 1952 John Deere model 60 tractor that I had rescued from the soon to go scrap yard and completely restored it. I showed and pulled this tractor at tractor pulls very competitively for years. These old tractors have a lot of history with mine and my wife's family history. I had begun to get burned out on tractor pulling and was thinking about selling when I received a phone call one night from a man who said he thought I owned his granddad's old tractor. I was the 6th person to own this tractor that his grandfather had bought brand new. He had been trying to find it for 10 years and finally tracked it to me.
The night he came to see it was very emotional for him. He had pictures of himself at 6 years old with his granddad on the tractor.
I had no choice but to sell it back to him so he could take it to the farm he now owns that the tractor went to brand new.
After this it was time to try something new. I have always been a CW history buff and live in a place that is rich with that history. I bought a detecter and found some great places to hunt and have been hooked every since.
I joined T-net to learn more about my finds and techniques and have comunicated with some great people. I learn something here almost daily.
