NOT STOLEN! I called the guys house I hunted last weekend & I left it there! I'm an idiot but a relieved idiot!

My oh my!!!! If I EVER did that to my AT, it would probably not speak to me for a month!!! They are VERY vindictive!!! If I were you, I wouldn't turn my back on that detector for quite some time to come! ;)

HH!

That turned out well. Ol' Joe went out one day and stopped to hunt at a couple lots, then he
remembered one near his house. That last one was a doozie, he got so excited he walked a
block to his house and left his pickup back at the site.

Glad u found it!
Was going to mention tho, what good is looking for a stolen detector on Craig'slist or at the pawn shop. You must have proof that it's yours.

Glad that you found your machine. Can't detect without one. If I had all the stuff that I have left up in the hills/mts of South Korea, I would be able to outfit another THer.
Just glad my brain is encased......I would probably have lost it, too.

This is not a put down or anything, but "HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU LEAVE YOUR BEST FRIEND BEHIND?" I can imagine losing a digger which I have done and found on a couple of occasions but an expensive machine? Gee, what did you find to forget that? A bagful of gold coins? I can see that happening....but even that would be a big maybe!! Glad you recovered your detector!

I don't know what I was thinking! I did have a great hunt, maybe just focused on my finds?
