Last weekend my son called and told me he had lost his wedding ring and if I would come over and see if I could find it. Just my luck the day I could look for it was the snowiest day we have had so far this winter. I figured it won't be that had to find in a yard , well when I got there he pointed to the heng row and a picked corn field . It was snowy and blowing but figured I would give it a try, the first hour I didn't have any luck except for a 2003 nickel that was on the surface. It wasn't long and I couldn't feel my figures and was having a hard time turning on my pinpointed with numb figures . I was just about ready to give up when I got a 51 on the AT Pro , as I brushed back the 6 inches of new poweder there was his wedding band and boy was I glad because I was frozen. I went in the house and told him I would come back and give it a shot in the spring and as I was walking out the door I tossed it to him he got a big smile on his face so that made it worth a couple hours of being froze to the bone . MARRY CHRISTMASS everybody!

I totally understand. As a father of an independent daughter, when we can do something to help, we feel like they still need us! We're not quite ready for the glue factory yet! You go!
Best,
Bruce
