A little chuckle for you

[WannaDig3687]

Last weekend I was calling it quits for detecting due to it was getting dark. Walked towards my Polaris, still swinging. I got a hit. The max was screaming and had an 85 on it. Taking into consideration what Crusader said about big rusty items giving larger numbers like that, I was hoping for a cool relic. I only had a hand trowel and the roots were thick, oh and no sun. So I went back out Tuesday night with shovel and trimmer and about 1/2 hour of daylight.





This hit my funny bone. I dug up a shovel with my shovel. LOL





I’m loosing count, but I think this is the 4th one I have found.

Made me laugh, maybe it’ll give you a chuckle too.

Thanks for looking,

WD

Dug a shovel with a scoop once.

I am still waiting to dig up my old pinpointer I lost years ago and now think may have gotten buried in a hole I filled in. heh

And you admit to that?!? Wait a minute! If this is some sneaky way to pass on a pirate curse, I am gonna hide your rum!

 

[WannaDig3687]

Thanks that is funny but the cool thing is that the whole time you were digging I bet you had all kinds of things going through your mind of what could be down there, thats the fun part.....Tommy

hehehe I am glad you thought it was funny. I didn't know what to expect. Yep. the suspense is a huge part of it.

Cool finds! If your a relic hunter, you will dig a lot of iron in your life, but not all iron is bad; so you have to dig it all!

thanks, Professor. I am becoming a little more persnickety about which nails I keep.

Arrrrrrrr...

I have a map... marked with an V...Z... I mean an X.

Getting rid of the iron is just another way to get the good keepers. But digging it out of the roots is a chore, it seems a lot of us have been there more than what we want admit.

Somehow I don't mind digging iron. Love the old tools.

Wow!
When you shovel it...you REALLY shovel it, don't you!!

Yep. I am beginning to see why there are so many different root chopping tools on the market.

It will hopefully be hanging on a wall someday.

I've found a number of shovels here in California mining areas, I've kept a few of the older ones. So yup appears to happen to a lot of us lol
