OK....Here is my slant on things the other night. This is in response to Mastereagles take on things. Here is the link to his story:

Mastereagle and I have not had an opportunity to swing a coil for awhile, so we hit it the other night. Because of my 15 year Wedding Anniversary, I had to call off a hunt that we had planned earlier in the week. Oops. :P Mastereagle really wanted to go on this hunt, but had recently found out that he was raised by chipmunks and was busy storing nuts for the hard days of winter. He talked to me about going detecting that week, but I couldn't understand him with all those nuts in his mouth.
Oh well...let's continue.
When we finally got out...sleet and ice was in the forecast. Fortunately, it was a mere 30 degrees with a 10 MPH wind. Childs play after some of our hunts.![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
This house we were hunting was built in the 1929-30 era. It has a HUGE yard and the owner said it hadn't been detected since he owned the house in 1970. We started hunting and things were REALLY quiet. Neither of us were getting ANY signals, and this went on for about 10 minutes. Finally we ventured to the outskirts of the property where a walkway parallels the main road and we both found a quarter and some other change. The property was pretty clean of signals initially, but as we worked our way toward the house, we started finding a few coins. Mastereagle found a cool tax token and I found nothing! He was doing his detector dance in front of the house, so I went to the left side. The ground was really frozen hard here and I fought like heck to dig anything. Finally ME22 came around the house and pinpointed a hole for me with his on-board Sunray. We managed to locate the dime and he told me he was finding some Wheats up in front. I walked up there with him and saw something that I always feared might happen!
ME22 had knocked the homeowner down on the ground and had turned his pockets inside out and scattered the contents of his pockets all over the yard. The homeowner begged me to help him but I told him it was "no use". I asked him if he had looked ME22 in the eyes and he said that he had. I told him it is better not to look him directly in the eyes. "He will charge you…..he probably thought you might have some old coins on you." I helped him up and returned to detecting. ME22 jumped several times at the homeowner with his Lesche while making growling noises and the property owner retreated inside and locked the door. Same old...same old. Gosh…we have talked about this too. Mastereagle just hates old people and children. Here is what I managed at the close of the night:
Some of the good stuff:
A little bit of clad....This must be from the homeowners pockets after ME22's attack.
