🏆 HONORABLE MENTION Never assume

[WHADIFIND]

I was at a favorite school for my walk today.
Been there lots of times. As I'm walking I noticed someone coming across the field. I thought, uh oh....here it comes.

As he drew closer I recognized him as the director of activities for the school's summer playground program. I was figuring my day was done.

But.....he explained that they had archery this year and he had a problem. The kids keep losing arrows! He went on to ask me if I could wave my machine around the field and see if I could locate any of them for him.

I giggled to myself, because I was thinking about the irony. I have a *dismal* record finding points, ( one! ).

But I told him sure, I would see what I could do. I only hunted for about 2 hours.




Yep...that's a professional type throwing knife!
Stranger still, this thing was buried about a foot down. So its been there a while. But it seems remarkably uncorroded to me! Pretty heavy too!

Most "points" I've ever found in my life!

So....whatcha think? How'd I do?

He wanted to pay me something per arrow, I told him nothing doing. It was fun for me and now the kids have more ammo with which to learn archery.

Thanks for peeking!
Stay cool!

That,s just too cool!Made a friend and probably someone who will put in a good word for metal detectors some day.As my Granddaughters say,way rad!

WIF,

Well done on recovering all those arrows wtg!

 

[Lenrac2]

Good job!

Good work. Your good deed helps us all and I bet it made you feel good too. The aluminum shafts on these arrows make them much easier to find than the old wooden shafts with a small target point. I have done the same thing at the scout camp. The scouts keep loosing them and I keep finding them. Congratulations on a job well done, stay safe, good luck and keep swingin.

Whadi it looks like maybe the attachment point broke on your detector. I put a post on a fix I did for mine it stabilized it solid as a rock. Here is the post link http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/general-discussion/461284-gold-pro-mod.html see if this might be a good fix for you. I put two of the parts on only 1 is pictured though. You got karma points for finding all those arrows for the school employee well done.

Nice job !

It makes you wonder about kids running around during gym class and possibly playing other sports on the same field where there are lost arrows. Ouch!

And I thought you were opening up a used arrow shop !! Thats a heck of a way to find points !!

WTG! On doing a great deed in finding all the lost arrows.

Actually I don't think I would want to be around while they were practicing....

Kinda knightly of you to volunteer your services, Sir. I am glad your services were successful. That?s actually one of the first things I detected for, lost arrows in my yard.

Yep, B.T.O.B.

The post broke. But I redid with a bit of J.B.Weld and black tape. After the epoxy dried? I just left the tape on it, no reason to remove. Those posts are now more solid then they ever were!

Thanks for the response!
