Short hunt, rain didn't bother me but walking around with a grounded lighting rod did

The hunt started off fine, found a .223 brass shell casing. and couple of quarters. The rain started which actually felt pretty good. Then came some lighting and the realization that I was walking around with a grounded lighting rod. I don't think the lighting would have any trouble at all jumping the couple of inches the coil was off the ground. Anyway all, be safe and God Bless! 20170405_131024.jpg

Your definitely a HARD CORE hunter.
It's Seems the Real Bad Storms were South of you today , They have moved into Central Ga & SC Now.
Glad you lived
It's those Summer Time pop-up we gotta really look out for.
Cool you made some finds.

We got lucky and you got more bad weather than us. We had that one bad line with the lighting that ran me off the field I was on. Other than that everything was South of us.

Congrats! :occasion14:
It might have been a short hunt but you did bring home some finds!
Two things I don't do when it is lightning out... golf or detect!
