Germany Finds: LAST HUNT Good Bye TN, I must go away

88irocarmy · May 19, 2008

Well, the time has come. I will be leaving for 15 months in Iraq in the next couple of days. My first one and a half years of MD has been great. I will not take my detector with me to Iraq, I'm sure you can guess why.

The pictured photos are from my last 3 weeks of searching on post. Got some nice older coins and buttons. I will miss the hobby and I can't wait to get back already. I did have a 3 gold ring day. Also found a seal C-Ration can of Peanut Butter.

P.S. If you or your community/group/association or family would like to support the deployed troops from my unit with care packages or any other support please PM me. You can send stuff to any soldier, unit or section. In one month we will be established in Iraq and I will send any interested party our unit addresses.
Thanks
Rich

I want to thank everyone for the kind words. Even though we are all strangers I feels incredibly lucky to know all of you. I'm backing my final bags and trying to stretch every minute left with the family. The unit that I'm leaving with are hunter of the most dangerous prey. They have the job of finding IEDs that are hidden through out Iraq.
Thanks again

Looks Like you did pretty good in Germany. Nice finds.

Thank you for your service and all that you will be doing. Come home safe. We will all be praying for you and the rest of our soldiers.
Be sure to PM me with your address and I will send your unit some gift boxes while you are serving overseas.

NewbieTR · May 20, 2008

NICE finds! I'm envious.

Good luck over there. You and your fellow soldiers are not and will not be forgotten by the majority of the civilians in the States,,,,no matter WHAT perception the liberal media gives. Neither will the sacrifices that are being made. Godspeed. :thumbsup:

iraq..........ancient babylon.........must be great treasure there,im sure theres some army detectors you could use

when in the uk i was doing a local park,and a man approached me ,he was interested in the coil i was using,we got talking,turns out he was iranian and detects there,said he found a hoard of silver coins from the time of king darius,around 700bc? and his freind had found an ancient tomb,so gets ur thinking :wink:

nice finds in germany by the way...........no celtic :icon_scratch:

rayredditch · May 20, 2008

Germany is an anolomy, where there should be good Celtic and Roman, or Medieval, you find Zilch. Where you don´t expect any, you find some !!

rmptr · May 20, 2008

Keep your eyes open and ears alert over there...

Thank you for your service.

Best,

Rich,

Good luck and God speed for your safe return.

I believe I have YOU to thank for getting me into this hobby. I followed one of your MDing posts from the ChevyTalk Chitchat forum to find Treasurenet. That was two years ago. The rest is history and I'm lovin' it!

Take care,

DCMatt
