My Pop passed away on Valentines night. My best friend, my metal detecting partner. I'll miss that glimmer in his eyes when he popped those silvers out of the dirt. We had the most amazing summers. All we could think about is hittin' the dirt again this summer. I can't imagine how to replace a partner like him. But I know he will be beside me and my detector in spirit this summer. You will be a great loss to our hobby forever. Miss you Pop... 1954-2014

Dear Friends who are also our Parent will truly be missed. Possibly every now and then when you are out swinging find one for him. You are right though he will be out there with you when you are swinging just smile and remember him................63bkpkr

So sorry for your loss! I just lost my 98 year old Grandmother 2 days after her 98th birthday. I feel your pain.

My condolences to you and your family. I am a '54 baby too. That's too young to pass. My prayers are that you may find comfort in the memories you had with him.

Sorry to hear Jesse, just remember to give a big wink up in the sky when you pop those pretty silvers out.

Your hunts will always be his as well. I am sure he will be with you when that next silver shows itself. Sorry for your loss sir. He looks like he would have been a lot of fun to share a hunt with.

Your Dad is around the same age as my parents so I am guessing you are in your mid 30's like I am. That is sad to hear and it sounded like you guys were really close. You have our thoughts and prayers.

Take Care,
Nick
