I was out of town working and was going to go detecting afterwards and then I got this great picture instead. I did go detecting later that day and found 3 pennies.
wow! i am glad i live in the north east US where we dont get that kinda stuff very often. its too hilly for them to develop, and a good thing too. i would lose my mind if i went out and saw that!
That is an incredible looking shot! Sure appreciate you sharing it with us and oh so very happy you are safe and sound at the computer posting pictures!
Thank you everyone for your interest and concern... I thougtht I was in OZ when I saw this. I have allways wanted to see one. This was as big as it got. It was only down for 5 mins. I couldnt actually see where it did touch the ground but I assume it did because of how far it made it. I think you can assume once it goes so far it is on the ground. I couldnt belive it, I finally got to see one. I live in the mid west where these things dont typically happen. Also thanks for the replies, I am excited to be in the forums. Since I just got my new detector (Garrett GTI 2500) I have had a blast!!! As a last not I should say that it was 6 to 8 miles away.
