Breaking News: Hotwheels VW Bug found destroyed - Pictures have been posted!

[Diggin' History]

It was over 70 degrees noon today so I decided to get out and do more detecting in the side yard of my house.

I grabbed the Dr.OTEK MT-XR and off I went.

I thought I had cleared the side yard with the Bounty Hunter Discovery and the BH Tracker IV but, the MT-XR proved its worth once again.

I found this Hot Wheels VW Bug in 6 Inches of dirt. It hit at 63 - 67 - no coin for me. The three parts were in a perfectly straight line (uh, as perfect as possible), about a foot apart, away from the side of my house. Also found within the same area as the recovered HW VW Bug, two small staples buried at 6 inches as well - this leads me to believe that a Hot Wheels Flat Bed Diesel lost its Staple load when running over the Bug.

Please be on the look out for a Hot Wheels Flat Bed Diesel carrying a partial load of Staples.

NOTE: A BOLO has been sent to the proper authorities.

Here's the evidence:



I'm glad that I took the plunge and bought the MT-XR. It keeps producing new finds daily.

Oh the horror of it all!

I was going through my notes on the Staple find in my picture in my first post and realized that they were only 1 inch apart at 6 inches deeps. The MT-XR read and pinpointed them separately and showed an accurate depth of 6 inches - with no manual GB that I know of. I simply put it in Jewelry Mode and went after it.

Tomorrow I will be finishing my back yard and posting my "New Finds" pictures that evening.

The MT-XR never ceases to amaze me.

You used 4 detectors to get that trash? Brilliant

It would have taken me 5

Just the DR.OTEK, albeit I did miss them with the Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300 (it went back as defective). I use the LRP for my River Bottom land digs but I'm sure that it would of caught 'em and I just ordered the Simplex+. Never tried the BH TK4.

You say trash, I say finds.

Yeah, finds worth approximately nothing

Really Says who You

They are my finds and your opinion carries no weight with me.

I guess for you the "fun" has gone out of MDing. So sad to be you.

I found these pieces and immediately came up with a story to go along with my finds.

Peyton, you need to change your name back to Jeff Gordon. He whined a whole lot more than Peyton!

Cool find, unfortunate condition!

Cool find, unfortunate condition!

I need to get back out there and see if I can find more of it. I was getting more hits but I just let them go - it was too nice of a day to waste and I wanted to get down to one our many fresh water beaches to finish hunting the other half of it - I never made it. A friend of mine called and said, "Hey, let's grab the little women and do Chinese tonight!" I agreed and then had to do the shower thing and make myself a bit more presentable for the occasion. :sigh:

Cheers.

I had a Hot Wheels car something like yours back in '69 or '70. But, alas, it disappeared like so many of my toys did, blown up with a cherry bomb.

Been there, done that.

I blew up my brother's replica WW2 model airplanes back in the 70s. I would put a firecracker in them and throw them. He put so much work in to them putting them together and then painting them in incredible detail. I had no concept of consequences as a kid. It hurts now though.
