The no power issue is getting old. Detecting did help take that stress off the mind especially when the Sheild popped out

Hey HB,
Thanks for inviting me over Man, it was Great to get out. The sun was shining and warming up the ground enough where we just had to try some digging.We would get a signal and have to remove pieces of ice just to dig some plugs and it took some time to do it, but when i looked over and seen Hill Billy with a big smile and showing me that Shield nickle,I was so glad for him, because with our Ice storm Damage present everywhere you looked,he was able to bring alittle happiness right out of the middle of it.

I was having a real nice time just enjoying a couple hours of detecting with a Great Guy and still was fortunate enough to pop out a Maverick Token that give me a piece of History that i could add to my token collection.
Hopefully, We can get together very soon on one of my sites and you can find another Great find.

Sitting here without power for 6 days now has been a real bummer, glad to get out of the house and take the mind off it.Hopefully they will get my power turned on sooner than later ,but tonight the power guys told me it may be a couple more days.UGHH >:(
