I Guess I've Lost My Mind!

A bone head move today!
I was all excited to go up to the lake to detect. Threw all my gear into the car and drove to the far end of the lake (1 1/2 hour drive with road construction), got a great parking spot , put on my wetsuit, grabbed my detector and....scoop? Oh no, I left the scoop hanging in the garage!

I tried to make the best of the situation and hunted a little terra firma in a spot where there was an old mill by the lake.
The only old coins were a couple of wheats.

Oh well, I'll try the lake again tomorrow.

I've been on outings when I dragged enough gear to start my own detector store and didn't do as well as you did.

I've bought a few shovels in the past.
Still you didn't get skunked.

Well as a charter member, welcome to the club!

 

[scruggs]

You did good without the scoop!

You still managed to make a lot of finds !

Any day digging for treasure is always good.. you did better than most of my hunts! .. .. ..

 

[cudamark]

Been there, done that! Looks like you made the best of it though!

I think we've all done something like that MX. I once went detecting, and walked a mile to my spot only to realize that I left my shovel in the truck. A mile back to the truck and a mile back to my spot. I had 3 miles of waking in before I even turned my detector on !
