[Scottso]

On December 17th friend and detecting buddy Jim Trestrail, AKA Deepdigger60 passed away in his sleep. For some who don't know Jim was a Vietnam Vet. He live out on the east end of long island and enjoyed detecting old farm fields. I have fond memories of detecting with him. I just ask for prayers for his family. He will be missed. RIP Jim! He was buried at Calverton Cemetery (long island) with full military honors. here is a picture of him before he passed.. I can tell you he was one tough SOB!

That's too bad. I exchanged messages with him a couple years back and it seemed like he had a few things going on he had to deal with, but after that it appears he bounced back... at least from what I could see with his post from various hunts.

We all have our demons, just too bad he didn't make those changes if that's what got him.

Sorry for the loss of your friend....










American by birth, Patriot by choice.

I would rather die standing on my two feet defending our Constitution than live a lifetime on my knees......
