Detector(s) used
White's Pro XL
Hey, dudes, Paco gave me a call later this evening, "Dude, I called, Barb, and she said it would be awesome for us to detect tonight." My response, "Paco, that sounds like an awesome woman! Hmmm....do you want to hit the grassy knoll again?" Paco stated, "Heck yeah, you know, dude, these people are awesome landowners!"

So, we made a journey to the same farm that has been producing. After parking the vehicle, we sauntered our way to the field. During our walk, many cars drove by and each time one did, I acted like I was super important, with my detector on my shoulder. I even stated to my buddy, "We are cool, dude!"

Once we got to the relic field, we detected for about an hour with nada to show for. I then got a nice whisper of a sound in my relicphones, and the target turned out to be a square nail...yes, Minelab dudes, I dig everything! hahaha I re-checked my hole because, you know, I love dat iron, and was receiving a better siggy (signal)...after jabbing at the ground, acting tough, I plucked a nice gold plated button out....I yelled, "I love this hobby!" Paco stated, "I know you do and you are damn good at it!"

After the zoyton, it was, Paco's, turn to find the goods. His Classic ID (MXT is coming soon - thanks to, Mr. Howard, at White's) was yanking out some nice relics....he found a crotal bell and a spoon. Soon after, I got a nice siggy that was coin checking each time I pinpointed it, so I thought, "What the ***k, I guess I will dig it!" I am glad I did, because I was soon rewarded with a Flying Eagle penny....since there is no date, I am taking credit for 1856...hehehe. After observing my coin, we started to perform the Hokey-Pokey....because, you know, dudes, "That's what it's all about!" hehehe

That was it for the relic hunting day. It was another memorable day with my good friend...it will be a day to look back on.

*All relics were found on private property with total consent from the landowners.

Our happy dance was hilarious though. Seriously, the Hokey-Pokey was fun to do. I haven't done it since grade school.

This is the best hobby!

Thanks, Jim, at first, I thought it was a fatboy IH, but then I saw the eagle. I almost performed a backflip, but thought otherwise...my detector was near me. hahaha

LMAO! I could walk out to the living room and do a strip tease for her...then, at the end, I would put the Flying Eagle up to my eye and act all sexy. :D

The chicks gotta dig it now!
