Special points

[Older The Better]

I know I posted this recently but theres another direction I could have taken this. This may be the most meaningful point I ever find. I didnt go this route because Im not big on sympathy, but I lost my grandma 11 days ago, I woke up to the news, and I was trying to figure out some things to keep my mind occupied, there was a pull in my gut that I should check this one spot in particular. I did a few other things that morning but it was stuck in the back of my mind I should go there. Finally I went out and I had to wade through waist deep water from the flooded field to get out to the spot. I just had a feeling something was waiting for me. I started walking the rows of beans. I dont know how many other people do it but in my mind I was kinda talking to nothing in particular and I thought it would be really great if I could come away with a nice point. Not 5 minutes later this beauty was sitting right on top dead center of the row I was walking

Someone was looking out for me that day. It may not be a remarkable or rare point but it was instantly not for sale. It will have a special place for me forever. Like I said Im not a big sympathy guy but I thought some could appreciate the role this hobby can play in grander schemes. If anybody else has a point that Is special to them feel free to share.

I am truly sorry for your loss Older The Better! I wish I could make other people understand what you and I see eye to eye on. When I lost my mom, that was all I was interested in doing. It is just a mindless kinda of thing to sorta escape for a while. I sometimes just sit and and feel like my mom is there with me. My wife thought I was going out seeing someone else.... That has been about two years now and I think she is starting to believe me. Hahaha. Once again, I am sorry for your loss and I can feel your pain.

So sorry for your loss. I have frames of points from my youngest brother who passed in 1994. I have one point from my older brother who also died in 1994. Not the best year for our family. The points are special to me.

My condolences to you and the family.
I find that going off on a hunt is the most comforting thing I can do.
It brings back the memories of the sharing of endless hrs that were spent together doing it together, whether it was rock, points, digging for bottles, detecting it was sharing those times.
I have my special finds that remind me of those that I have lost-when I'm gone that will be lost as well.

One of the best points I have ever found was after my dad had died and on his birthday some years later while fishing. It also holds a special place among my meager finds. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks all, you can show some pics too. I’ve got a few others, still got my parents but each of these I found when I was out showing them what I do, my mom was the pink one, sitting in a Little Rock overhang I was showing her how I’d look for flakes then start looking and sure enough a few inches down in some rock rubble out popped this

The one with my dad we were walking around fallen trees and flakes were washing out of the root balls, again I chose a spot near the tree at random. First or second scoop just an inches down this popped out.
