Remote Access via Mtn. Bike

[CladMoonRising]

I haven’t done any serious mountain biking since the 90’s but the bike I got in 1987 still kicks butt! I heard about a remote cabin in the hills that was built in the 1880’s and burned down about 20 years ago. It turned out to be about a 9 mile off-road journey with some pretty brutal ups and downs. I mostly pushed the bike up the steep hills and screamed down the other sides.

The Etrac computer and handle fit nicely in the backpack and the coil/shaft was held in an outer sleeve (designed for a baseball bat). I wrapped insulation foam around my shovel and strapped it to the crossbar.

I snapped a pic of the setup in front of what’s left of the cabin. Oh yeah, I found about a dozen coins but, strangely, nothing older than 1950’s. Best was the silver dime below. Thanks for reading and good luck out there!

Those hills can be treacherous.
Congratulations on bringing home the Silver.

Nice! I use a padded guitar case that has shoulder straps so it wears like a back-pack when I travel by bike. I got mine at a thrift shop. Holds the detector and misc. gear.
