Lunch time digging (with Dad's old detector)

I started carrying my Dad's old Eagle Spectrum in my truck for lunch time hunting and got to use it for the first time today. I stopped by an old school site that was built in 1929 and torn down in 1990, the old ball field was still there so I hit it for about an hour.
This was my first time out since Dad passed away a few weeks ago and I found something that made me smile and think of him. the detector indicated a dime at 7 inches and sure enough there was a sweet little 1944 Merc. What was so special to me was the fact that 1944 was my Dad's birth year. I felt like he was there with me for a moment. He was my detecting buddy for 25 years and I miss him terribly, it was only fitting that the first good target I found with his old detector was a '44 Merc.

Other then being heavy, the eagle spectrim is as good as most machines on the market today.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear about your father. It sounds like a great idea to keep that detector with you when your out or at work, you never know when you might come across a really good spot like this. Congratulations on the Silver coins!

HH, Mark
