I'm in a slump.

Last two weekends have been slow for us. All I found that was worthy last week was a ball button. This week wasn't much better. Found a round ball, some bucky ball, and a peice to a wood stove that's pretty cool. That's the way it goes sometime. Did get a lead on a piece of ground that joins one of the battle fields near us from a friend. 500 acre farm that belongs to his aunt. I'll keep my fingers crossed on a new permission. Will know tomorrow. Hope everyone had some luck. Thanks for looking. uploadfromtaptalk1459712782254.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1459712794200.jpg

You found a new spot that's some good news. I need to do the same. Time to go door to door in this small town I live in. Only about 10 houses in town. Small town :).

Slumps suck; we all have them and shall have many more. A ~40 mph wind gust or higher knocked me over today in a school yard here in Upstate NY this afternoon. I'm 55 and in shape, but it was humbling. My reward...$0.85 in clad. However, every year metal detecting is a great year.

You're in a slump. I'm pushin 70, Dr. took cigars and alcohol away, too old for a woman and I hurt all over. SOOOOO- enjoy your youth(55 ain't old) and just enjoy and have fun no matter what you find. Next 15 years goes quick...

Wow 500 acres will keep you busy for a while. Sorry about the slump, but I am certain things will turn around for you soon. RN

I know slumps for sure. But I also know they end, just like that! A good find is coming your way-

I always look at slumps this way: the longer I go without a great find, the closer I am to recovering something awesome. I'd been in a bit of a slump since last December but, on Good Friday, recovered my first Spanish silver - a 1 Reale in excellent condition. The odds are now in your favor. Keep swingin'.

Thanks. Haven't heard yet about the 500 acre farm but did secure two other permissions at a very promising place today. Damnails and I needed some new ground so we are excited about these. Plan to try them out Friday. I'll let you know. Thanks guys!!

Gotta take the good with the bad sometimes, hows your buddy liking the Deus?
He likes it very much. Getting the hang of it. He's making me work a little harder. Lol
