my day of detecting

[allen]

Well the weather here in Shelbyville was beautiful today, mid 60s.
So i got out the ace 250 and decided to detect for a bit. The first place i went to i was stopped before i even got out of the car. When i pulled in at the curb if front of my destination i was met with angry stares from about 50 latinos and said to myself, i'll look elsewheres.
Next place i wanted to hit was a school playground but it was packed with kiddos.
Then i went to an old farm on the other side of town and got permission from the owner. I got the ace 250 out and turned her on and started detecting.
The first few signals i got was newer clad ( my first coins with the ace250) then got a signal that read in the quarter range at 8 inches. This got me excited and i was thinking this is something old ( it was ),
I started digging and after 10 inches of digging, nothing ( yet ). Then i said this thing is really deep and after 14 inches , bingo. I see a silverish glint and im totally excited. ( for a minute ) I get it uncovered and guess what?
To my surprise its a frigging steel beer can.
In the meantime, somehow i ended up breaking my shovel in two pieces also.
What a great day for me.

Dude...it's Kentucky...the land of rednecks and bulldozed beer cans at 2 feet!!!!!

I know...I've dug them!

At least you got out today...it was pretty in East KY, too, but no detecting today. Still recuperating from surgery!

Don't despair! We all have done the same dig on a deep can.

Allen, man I feel your pain just the other day I had a hole dug a good 12'' to find nothing be a decentgrated car tag in many pieces and in the process of getting it out of the hole I broke the digger I was using which I had just bought at Tractor Supply.

Hang in ther Allen----There is a long learning curve when it comes to detecting.
Things will only get better.
