Ever wish you were a newbie again?

[Sandman]

You ever wish you were a newbie again? Just starting out all excited about finding stuff in the dirt. I remember kneeling on the frozen ground wearing heavy winter coats and safety goggles because the coin I pinpointed was in frozen ground and I had to chop at the dirt with a hammer an screw driver. After I got it out I looked at the date anxiously hoping to see a key date but happy with what ever it was.

Now days after most of us think we know what we are doing, some of the thrill goes out of it when we see it is only another clad coin. We are after the gold coin or gold rings. Ever wonder why there are still Wheaties being found in that sawdust pile in the woods that you musta hunted many times? This is why I feel I am still learning and trying new detectors left and right to bring back the excitement of learning. If only I applied this excitement to learning the Iphone 4S.

Adrian, It sounds like many other stories. The strange thing is they found some gold coins , but the location is not known. A bit of a contradiction there. I didn't find it in Terry's listings, but Vici is surrounded by ghost towens--Beemont, on the N county line 5 miles E of Vici; Sparta, 2 1/2 miles S of Vici
OK found it in my private listings: Location-just W of Vici, the story appears to be the same. It is from Lost Treasure/Dec.2009 The location is vague, but if you are around that area it might be interesting to look. I usually do a boots on ground trip to an area to try to visualize the details of the story. If they gel, I start searching, if not, I write it off as experience. Frank

PS: I will start an Oklahoma hint post for metal detectors. Check it.

I wouldn't want to be a newbie again, but I'd sure like to have that old newbie energy, stamina, and daily inspiration again.
