- Metal Detecting
Got out this morning and started detecting at 6am with Anthony (Plazz58), at our local High School here in White Plains. It was still pretty dark, but the street lights made it possible to see what we were digging. Had a chance to use the backlight on the Vanquish 540, and I really like the subdued red light. I notched out everything below 23, so if there was any small gold I walked over it, but I was hitting quarters like Babe Ruth hit baseballs! About 45-minutes into the hunt I got a 37-38 on the Vanquish, indicating 7"-8" in depth. Silver Ring! Broke a five-month ring-drought!!!
At an hour-and-a-half, Anthony was beginning to hit a run on quarters when School Security pulled up. The guy was very cool, but told us we would have to stop detecting, as it was a liability, and technically we were trespassing on school grounds. As always, I was polite, did not argue, and introduced myself to "Dan," as you never want to burn a bridge. I explained I lived in the City, and had detected the High School off and on for 15-years. He said he understood, but we had to go. Anthony thinks a woman who glared at him while walking her dog about 20-minutes earlier, probably called the police.
Anyway, a good 1.5-hour hunt with Plazz58, and a Silver Ring!
My take (L) $3.07 and Anthony's (R)
