When lightning sets off your machine.. it's time to go.

So the other day I hit a lot I had been too 3 times already...pretty much feeling like I got most of what my machine would get... until further earth moving anyway.... on my way to the grocery and before a big storm.... well I walked away from the main action, in and amongst a bunch of trash and found this little cuff button laying ON TOP OF THE GROUND... eyeball find, of course I swung the Tesoro over it just to hear the music :tongue3:.... BOOM, big crack of lightning and thunder, getting close but I didn't want to leave at that point, until it started raining... so I kept swinging... could feel the cold air of the approaching rain....come on one more button or a coin.... then another crack of lightning that was so close my machine light up and pulsated with the brightness of the bolt... don't think I will push my luck like that again!

Side note: Cleaning this Barber dime I tricked myself into thinking it was some kind of reale after finding 2 others.... I became fixated on the "fat lady's" face...thinking I had something really different then realized I was looking at the coin upside down... :laughing7:

Been a sweet spot... 63 coins so far!

Yall have a good day... Go Gamecocks!

Nice finds! I'd love to find a 2 cent piece. Still on my "to find" list. I think I'd head for shelter in a thunderstorm too! I don't think any machine on the market today will run on 50 million volts....at least not for long! :laughing7:
