Strange dig...........

Mighty AP · Sep 30, 2006

Went to the over hunted park after work today, took LQ & the dog with me. Didnt realize but it was damned hot, only hunted about an hour, even Charlie dog stayed in the shade! I got a strong nickel signal at about 2 inches, started digging & pull out this Gameboy advance game, covered with dirt. Ive bought LQ every Gameboy ever released & she has 50-60 games for em so I threw it in her direction & forgot all about it. Dug a quarter, nickel, dime & 11 pennies plus a pocket full of crap & pulltabs in an hour. Im sitting at my PC in my office & she just walked in with her GameboyDS & showed me that she cleaned the game & it works...........its Pitfall, a game she didnt have! LOL Has any body else ever dug up a video game that worked?
The sad part is everytime I get a nickel signal from now on Im gonna be pissed off if its not a video game!!!

I dug up a areosmith 8 track this spring and it still work. Also dug a video" How to install your new garage door" and it worked also. Cannot tell you what enjoyment it was watching that one ::)

One man's treasure is another man's treasure!!!!!!....I think that's how it goes.....Nice find!!!!

There was a commercial (long time ago) about somebody digging up a Timex watch...so on my construction job I unearthed one, sure as shootin, it worked after I wound it.

Mighty..cool find, bet your daughter was thrilled...

Gypsy...a dug 8 track that still worked? damn, those things didn;t work well when they were new, I remember jamming matchbooks under them to make them play....Where did you find an 8 track player

I tossed all mine FAST just as soon as casettes came out...

Mighty AP · Sep 30, 2006

I find it a little disturbing to hear that you have an 8track player to test that Areosmith tape Gypsy! lol This IS the 21st century girl! I cant believe you are old enough to know what an 8 track was..........is? My 1st car, a 1970 2 door Nova had a jammin' 8 track system in it, I had dozens & dozens of cool tapes too! (Carpenters, Air Supply, etc) LOL

And MaineDigger, I gave the video game to my girlfriend! LOL She is a nut for video games, she plays "Bomberman" & completes all fifty some-odd levels without dying once! Im lucky to get through the 1st level without losing all 3 men!

Not one I would have guessed from your title. A working game would have never entered my mind.

Congratulations,

Neat, that it still works, Congrats!!!
Pitfall was a good old Atari game I remember all to well. I waisted a lot of valuable detecting time playing that one...

Good luck, & Happy hunting~
