Howdy Folks!
I haven't been on T-net much recently, and I figure I'll spend more time around here going forward.
Since my last real visit, I managed to wreck my knee at work and will be having surgery to fix that on December 31st. I was supposed to have the operation back at the end of August, but ended up with a blood clot in that leg, so ended up having to wait for blood thinners to dissolve the darn thing. Anyhow, I got clearance to go for knee repair and have a date lined up for meniscus repair. Both of them are messed up.
Last saturday night, I managed to bang my chest on an obstruction while hunting and now have that issue to cope with as well as a bad knee. So hunting has been tough because it hurts a whole bunch! But not enough to keep me hanging around the house complaining. I went hunting.
It was a nice day with a high in the 40s and sunny so I set out with my MXT Pro to see what I might find. Every bend to check a target was excruciatingly painful, but I wasn't going to be denied. So I just gritted my teeth and hunted. They say "no pain, no gain!" So I guess I put that theory to the test.
I only hit two locations, and at the first I found several items including a post earring that I thought might be gold. Turns out it is. I tested it at home to learn it is 18k gold. That first location is where I also found a 925 silver bracelet. After driving around to do some recon work, I found a place I've been looking for. That's where I found an 18k gold ring. It was near the bottom end of a slide on a wood chip tot lot. Because I've been burned before, I tested the ring and it is a legitimate 18k weighing 6.8 grams. I also tested the post earring.
Better yet, I guess I'll let my photos tell the rest of the story!
Thanks for Lookin,
Blessings,

Take Care,Dave
I hear ya partner, the second I find something of value I have to remind myself that I've a family to go home to and I better shut it down soon! Of course we have 2 feet of snow here, so my wife knows there's no risk of me leaving the house to go hunting.
