M D in the RAIN was worth it

[DPBOB]

I had to go get batteries for the detector so I went to Menard's they had $2.00 off on 8 pk . Got 3 -8pk's for $5.97.
Then headed to Home Depot cause I got a gift card in the mail and the card could be worth $ 1.00 to $ 1000.00
( it was $1.00 ).
Across the street from Home Depot there was an old house going to be torn down.
I had my detector with me ( Thank You God ) and brand new batteries but it was RAINING a long steady drizzle.
What do I do ? I'm not missing this opportunity so I covered the detector in plastic bags and said "let's go for it".
Good jeans on and all needless to say they got pretty muddy.
Well hears what I dug up..... in an hour and 15 min.

3 silver coins and other stuff ( SLQ makes it my 93rd silver coin this summer )


GOTTA LOVE THIS HOBBY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice stuff. I like the little gun best of all. Nice work oh brave one.

Cool little gun....I have found a couple tiny hand guns...no idea what they are from though

 

[kalpinro]

Yeah, I would definitely say it was worth. Outstanding stuff!

Very nice to find 3 silver coins(two Quarters) in a short hunt.

You should get the NiMH rechargeable batteries. One set of eight AA for less than $20. Even at your sweet price of $2/eight pack you would pay for the NiMH in 10 replacements. The NiMH are suppose to be good for 500 recharges. That would be a savings of $980.!! I know people who claim better performance with Alkaline over rechargeables but I am an Electrical Engineer and can see no reason theoretically or practically why this would be the case.

I have rechargeables but I don't like them. I don't get to hunt that long with them.. ( BRAND NEW ) and they react diffently the reg. batteries.. I make my money back 10 fold with each 8 I go through. That's just me though

No the wife ( suprisingly ) didn't say a word about all the mud.. I guess they come out clean because I don't see them so they must be hung up already.





THANKS ALL FOR YOUR REPLIES.....
