The last 2 or three times out, I've been working on doing the sort of hunt I *used* to do. I've grown old and had fallen into the "let's just find easy stuff" syndrome.
It's mostly due to time, age and pain that I pretty much just started doing what I call high squeak hunts. I knew that by ignoring the iffier signals, I was leaving a *lot* of stuff in the ground.
But, I was just too tired to do the work that hunting the way I used to, caused. (SIC: lazy).
Sure, I could go to one of my clad farms and feel good about finding a ton of new coins. I could even tell myself I liked what I was doing. But....truth be told, I wasn't real happy.
So, a couple of hunts ago I decided to go to a particular clad farm I liked and start doing what I call a "fine tooth comb" sort of hunt. It meant digging a whole lot more than usual, but, hopefully upped my chances of actually finding things I actually wanted to find.
Like today, went for about a 3 hour walk. I dug sooooo much!!! Only a couple lil trinkets/coins.
The old harness buckle was about a foot down! These few finds also represent about 10 pieces of trash for each one and a very unhappy back!! But, finding the types of finds there really started to impress me! Last couple times out I have found teeny tiny necklaces that were very odd sounding/broken up/ and very slight hits.
Other little hits were making themselves known to me again. Each one, making me feel more like I was truly *hearing* the treasure again!
I *always* had a knack for finding strange lil pieces. But, not so much these last few years.
No clue but the sort of finds I used to be known for....odd bits and pieces. Some with clues, like words that always used to fire that drive I once had before. The idea of something to research was part of my attraction! What was this thing!!! (WHADIFIND!?)
Then, there was the small bits of jewelry. Ones that were maybe not worth much, but just the finding of such wonderful, tiny pieces of gold had always fascinated!
Ahhhhhh....but then..... the beautiful, *tiny* little jewelry!! You know the kind! Teensy gold chains that always made me think *WOW!*.....I actually *HEARD THAT*!?!? Let alone, found it! AND.... didn't destroy it!?!? WOW!!!
I've found tiny little chains the last few times out! So, I know now I'm back on track!! This might prove to be a really nice year! I actually feel like I'm detecting again! Instead of just going for my weekly constitutional! (walks are fine.....but I'd *MUCH* rather be Treasure hunting!!!!
Sorry for the long windedness, but I'm beginning to feel like I'm back!
Thanks for taking the time to peek!
