Went to another spot not to where out my welcome at Bust Paradise.

[Truth]

Went to a old spot just to get 2 hours in this morning. I found a 1949’s silver plated spoon and a couple of nothing, but one of these nothings I have a personal love for. It’s a K&B cap of something. K&B was a local New Orleans Drug store chain that sold EVERYTHING from K&B ice cream to K&B vodka and everything in between and was quality. Every house hold in New Orleans had purple things in there house. Every kid had purple pencils rarely yellow. I would ride my bike there as a little boy, look at comic books and bring my mom back a pack of cigarettes. I’ve never found anything K&B until now, but I buy things K&B when I see it. I love this thing lol Personal Treasure/local history My K&B collection
That pen was hard to find. It was my favorite pen, out of all the 60 pens I had rapped in a rubber band, I keep it in the very center. I only used it to right girls notes because it wrote in purple and the ink smell like violet. Those where the best of days. Innocent times.

P.S. I had time to do a lot of thinking this morning while digging. I bought the 6” coil, which I love don’t get me wrong, but I bought it to “lessen my digging”. Well I come to realize that no matter what I’m gotta dig it, if it sounds half way semi decent, I’m gonna dig it. I’m 80% digger 20% detectorist. I’m just a filthy digger and all I’ll ever be is a filthy digger.

I bet I’d be one hell of a bottle hunter. I’m doing it.

Hey I remember K&B stores, but kinda forgot about them til now.
You did better than me. I had the day off and went riding around this morning looking for a place to dig.
I didn't even turn my detector on.
Ended up doing a little probing at a house tear-out/construction site, and found a couple bottles, but nothing worth keeping.
Called it a day by 0930.

Yeah this was a 1940’s house demolition. Not a hot spot. I’ve been watching these Southern boys doing that bottle digging, dig down to 15feet with only a shovel!!! It’s incredible I tell yah.

ecmo you know me I’m going at 6am before work tomorrow. I have to hold myself back because if it was up to me I’d go everyday, but this is going to be a long time deal. He also owns the land across the road where he said they moved a 1800’s carousel from the property in 1920 buy the river. He said he read they had many of party over there. It’s over grown but later he wants to build a boat launch and said he’ll have to bulldoze the dirt away. And he said it’s all mine to check before he hauls it away. He’s a great guy and he seems to appreciate my passion. It also helps he loves history himself. I spoke with the agent who was sold the property and she was so happy he bought the property because it’s gonna that sooo much money to restore the house that 9 out of 10 buyers would’ve just knocked it down and built knew on such a huge property on this private street. The house itself is a history book and he knows I’ve had a total love affair with this house for 2 years when I first saw it vacant. I would just drove over there and just look at it.

you have a nox the fastest machine made the discrimination works you just have to trust it . digging all that iron wears ME out .sure there are good targets being masked by iron but the odds are pretty low proven by your pile of iron , you have to learn to trust your NOX or maybe you should get a PI and dig everything.but thats going to take alot more of your time .when you get old..and YOU will your not going to want to dig everything and thats the truth.....Truth.. that said your killing the bust dimes .......

First I would like to say that you have to be one of the hardest working metal detectorists on the planet. I’ve never known anyone to wear out pin pointers as often as you do. Your stories and finds are amazing. I don’t know how you do it. You’re either working or detecting. Do you ever sleep? Your a good man. Take care.

Another awesome hunt.

I noticed from your profile you are self-employed. When you have your own business as I do, you feel guilty not working all the time and bringing in more money for the family. So you end up working long, long hours. My business is Internet based so I would probably be on the computer during all my waking hours. My wife, my two young grandsons, dog and metal detecting keep my my life more balanced. I absolutely will not hunt on the weekend, that is familyi time. I can do this since I set my own work schedule. At my age metal detecting is an active hobby that I can still do and enjoy. Sure I would like to find silver often l like a lot of guys, but it doesn't take much to make me happy on a hunt. I loved the line from the British TV series "The Detectorists" when the German guy ask Sophia "why do are you in the Danbury Metal Detecting Club?, you don't find much of anything of value." and she replied with a smile, "That is what we do best!". Lot of subtle British humor in that TV series. On many days that is what I do best, but it does not lessen my enjoyment of this great hobby.

You are absolutely right I’ve always had a problem trusting my other machines.

Hawks I truly truly appreciate that. I’m a loan originator and I work out of my house, my wife processes all the paperwork and I work at night found the numbers. I have bad insomnia so I average maybe 4 hours of sleep. I was out there a 5:30am and just got in. Lol Also it helps to be nuts 🥜

I love dry humor I guess because I’m half Welsh. Pulltab I’ve work all my life 70-80hr weeks big house, Porsche 911 the works, but after Katina I lost everything including a wife and I said I’m not going back to a having a big nut every month. My two boys are in College no grandchildren and me and my Queen have a low mortgage and paid off vehicles. I work ALOT less, but have more money in the bank then before. The wife doesn’t work so we see each enough at night and she often say,”When you going detecting!!!” :laughing

Life’s good with no guilt. And yes guilt is one of the only things that will bring me to my knees, so I know what you me. [emoji1317]
