So...there I was again, in my place, cladding away. Finding fairly well but I was nearing my limit, about 4 hours. So....I asked my partner, ok for me to just start back to the car? I think I'm gonna just turn up my personal discriminator. OTWBTTC...just "high squeaks"?

I took one maybe two steps and got a trash can lid signal!! Bout knocked my eardrums out!

I looked up and said, "I take that to mean....no?" :dontknow: :icon_scratch:???

The blob on the left I think is aluminum, the one on the right, much heavier, nonmagnetic, silverish inside but definitely not lead. :dontknow:

The axe? I don't know my axe from a hole in the ground. :tongue3: But, it is really heavy!

After I got these in, I continued toward the car. Another two steps and I got one of those double hits. Two coins close together. Both sounding like dimes, one, a lil deeper.

Now, remember, I was gonna just do quarters. But that loud "no" I got made me dig. Got the first one, a clad dime. I'm still tired, almost forgot the 2nd one. Turned around and found it, dug...thought it was a penny.

Glad I listen to my partner. :)

A few yards further and another iffy signal. I dug anyway. :dontknow: (my arms are too short to box with my partner.)

When I flipped it over, the sun almost blinded me with the reflection! LOL !

All in all, not too shabby! I think I'm wearing this place down. ;)

Musket ball and a strangely shaped, possible coin?

An award walk for this year.

Definitely going to be tough to top.

Thanks for the support and for peeking!

Congratulations on sitting down during your walk. I haven’t found one of those in a long time. Only have about 6 in almost 18 years of hunting so that is a great find. A very successful walk. Keep swingin.

I haven't found more than 8 or ten in my long career either. Funny though....I'd have been happy with a 64 Roosie! And look what I found! LOL!!

Any experts on axes out there? Any way to tell the age of mine? This thing must weigh between 5 to 10 pounds!
