I had trip planned for Florida. The wife threatened me something fierce if I brought my detector with me...
Well a week before we left my CTX stopped working and I HAD to bring it to Kellyco for servicing. Soooo while my detector is in Florida I may as well hunt. So I went to the old maps and photographs of New Symrna and found a spot.
At first I was skunked, my one researched spot had failed...then I looked into another area separated by a barber wire fence. Asked the land owner who's land I was detecting and she owned that one too! So off I went and I quickly found cut nails and slate shingle holders. Then a 1910 and 1917 wheat...not bad...
Then I hit a drunks secret spot full of 24oz cans. Some buried, some not... I get a slamming hit, sounded like it was on the surface but the machine said it was 6". Another can?
I dig in...

I didn't much want to hunt after that but kept going. I got nothing for a while, then a barber and some other foreign coin from the 1950's.
All I can say is Wow, just Wow!![ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1436314696.117612.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1436314696.117612.jpg](https://www.treasurenet.com/data/attachments/1077/1077733-8d9e02708f729cc3e2f9b2cc829867a3.jpg)
