4-H Mike and I both live in NC but about 4 hours apart. We've been trying to get together to detect since last year.
Yesterday we finally met at one of Mike's spots. Folks, it was out in the boonies! I could have made a killing selling my teeth to the locals if you know what I mean. My "Indiana Hoosier" (Yankee) front license plate and Toyota truck stuck out like a sore thumb.
Mike was quick to offer to drive. Wonder why? ![dontknow :dontknow: :dontknow:](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/dontknow.gif)
Mike and I hit four spots of his, and I enjoyed getting my tail kicked at every one of them.![Grin ;D ;D](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/grin.gif)
The grass was high at two of them, so I'm using that as my excuse for my sad finds. Mike on the other hand is a master with his Minelab, and was popping 1800's buttons out every time I looked over. $OB!!!![Shocked :o :o](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/shocked.gif)
I told him if I go home with nothing it will be quite embarrassing.
At property #1, I dug a large iron ring with a hook. We believe it was to hang a kettle from. I gave it to the property owner. At property #2, I got a lantern piece and some rusty square nails.
Property #3, I finally dug an 1800's flat button. At property #4, which was fairly new to Mike too, I dug a medal in the field right away. Mike disappeared like David Copperfield.
He called me on my cell and guided me across a huge field to a spot he had located where an old house once sat. Pottery shards, bricks, old iron, etc. were everywhere. I was supposed to leave to head back home about 3:30 pm, but didn't get on the road until about 5:30pm. ![Roll Eyes ::) ::)](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Time flies when....................
I'm hoping to get back to that last field again if Mike can put up with me. I just know there are going to be some good finds out there!
Thanks again Mike. I had a great time!!! You are always welcome to hunt my spots when you can make it over.

P.S. The family was still eating dinner when I got home, so I did o.k.![thumbsup :thumbsup: :thumbsup:](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
