So there’s a big metal detecting hunt going on this weekend at Farragut Park in Idaho, Spokane metal detecting club is putting it on . last year It was really nice kind of expensive . this yearThey priced me out of the game. 60.00 -75. For each hunt YA NO …… so I left the event and went to the high school and dug for 2 1/2 hours looking for gold a lot of pencil erasers tabs nickels of course always take a quarter or dime and i was after iffy signals “gold”and it worked for me and when you show up in the parking lot and walk across it and find a c-note. Makes the day a whole lot nicer. Some Capricorn is bummed because they lost their necklace on top of ground.Then I found a real small little necklace,chains gold turquoise pendant no. 4” down came in as a 71 “junk” I think a couple pieces of small gold and a brass ring and a 40 mm bullet on the school and all the erasers.
lol and I think it’s a very mean trick to make pencil erasers “gold “looking in pulltabs gold looking makes your heart go pitter pat ,a whole bunch for no reason.

Found 20’s on the beach a lot ,did find c-note at silver strand beach in imperial Beach California back in 1990’s , And I would think that Capricorn necklace and chain would bring hundred 150 easy. Looks 14k ,D2 says it’s gold wee see .

lol talking to myself …WIFE TOOK BOTH : Capricorn is her bff so she gets it and then she took the 100 and said thanks …..she then went kayaking. A man can’t win sometimes ,you just got to know what hills to fight on ……her putting up with my obsession of digging in the dirt “dirt fishing.”

Ya I find a lot of stuff just walking ,I think our eyes are trained for that because of the sport or it’s because I can’t walk upright anymore because of my old age back disease is shit that I just see more stuff on the ground than in front of me lol
