Ok, so now the 2nd half of my career has officially started.

[WHADIFIND]

As some know, I've been playing with a few friend's AT-PROs while deciding what to upgrade my trusty ole Groundhog. Oh, the Groundhog isn't going anywhere, it's too much of a friend now.

But, I'm a little confused about what the treasure hunting gods are trying to tell me. My brand new AT-PRO arrived today. So, I planned on going to a local school ground that sits on some old farmland. I was also planning on a large kick off to the 2nd half of my amateur archeology career, with a very large post showing all the finds of the day. But, especially, the very first find with my new machine, WHATEVER it turned out to be!

I got there, started to gear up, and...........the skies opened up!

I just couldn't bring me to wait for the rain to stop and hunt anyway. (I didn't want my new toy to get muddy. At least, not so fast. I think I heard the ole Groundhog giggle! )

Anyway, I put everything back away. picked up supper and went back home. The grand opening will be delayed.

More to follow, bet on that!

HH!

Well, as you know that AT Pro is waterproof!
Can't wait to see your post when you do get
It out. Sure it will be great!

Oh yeah. I know. Actually, the Groundhog is too, for the most part.

Just didn't want my first try with the new machine to be complicated by such messy conditions.

Tomorrow's soon nuff.

Thanks!

It's been alternating between torrential rain here and sunshine all day long--crazy. Seemed to clear up this afternoon and I headed out at 5 PM. Yup, you guessed it, 2 minutes into the hunt.....DOWNPOUR!!

Just go ahead and scratch it with your lesche then give it a mud bath. That way you don't have to cringe when you do it on accident like I did mine. Think it works better with a scuff and some grit anyhow.

I'll wait 'til next time out. If it rains, it's going into the baptismal pool for a swim! Once, ok. Twice? Time to get down. LOL

I gave it one reprieve.

New toys and new tools look great right outta the box. But even better once their scuffed up a bit.

Congrats on the new toy.

Thanks! I know the tool is for the job it's made for, but , it's only NEW once. After the first target it becomes the tool. I am in no hurry to knock the shine off, but believe me, as my Groundhog could tell, I most assuredly, eventually WILL! LOL
