We had to go detecting because of the fine weather. Just freezing, very little snow and the sun lurking through the clouds.
Three hours in the thawing snow, boots started to get bigger and heavier every step, coil had to be cleaned every row.
The hunt started slow with not much under the coil and it stayed that way.
A good laugh was the garden gnome, holdig his eyes shut. Guess because he saw us stump through the mud.
Perfect example for a late 20th C. votive figurine often found in frontyards.
My buddy found a complete roman iron key, came up with the deep plough just laying on top.
My hunt was a blank and the gear looked like finest churchgoing outfit...
When heading home a took a corner at the field too sharp and cut a tire on a rusted fence post standing out the ground a couple inches.
The $300 jackpot of the day. I called my lady in, she took me to the shop, i grabbed spare tires and tools. We were back at the truck in the dark. Took 10 mins to change the tires and i was back on the road home with two "35 and two stockers...
