Congrats on the gold and other keepers. This late in the year I'm not complaining as long as I can still get out.

You must have had your ears on to catch that small hoop earring! Look at this hunt like fine tuning yourself before winter makes us all forget how to use our detectors. I'm glad you guys had some fun. Cheers buddy

thanks steve, it was a wierd signal, faint as if it was deep but only about 3 inches down

Any kind of gold find large or small is a great day! :occasion14:

Dave
thanks alot, it's been a slow end of the season for me so I was a little happy to get that

I had forgotten you guys were going down today, so your post was a surprise lol. Hope Will got some finds too.
thanks dave, wasn't any monumental day by any means, finally got someone at the door at a few houses we drooled over and got big fat no's

Congrats on the gold and other keepers. This late in the year I'm not complaining as long as I can still get out.
thanks, I figure this is likely my last hunt so I guess to finish with gold it's all good

It was fun going down. Even though I came out empty handed. I learned a lot about door knocking and what types of properties to look for. So I guess I came out of it with something.

It is so nice to get one or two keepers of any sort anymore. Glad you managed to get out.
But, 1 last time for the year? I wouldn't be so hasty to count out this year, just yet! :)

ya know gary, I hate to be done, just so many things going on with family and Holidays plus work etc etc, just don't see much time for detecting left

Thank you

Chris, Chris, Chris....what am I going to do with you!? :BangHead:

Priorities!!!!

Of course....one of those might be to not knock on any more doors. At least 'til the children
grow up, so you can be around. ;) Here's a thought for you. If a place has no trespassing signs up,
you can't get to that door to knock without trespassing!

You enjoy the heck outta that family as long as you can!

Merry Christmas!
