Weekend fun with MM...

[Ridley]

Modern Miner and I hit the road and explored a nearby town. MM was wearing this cool sun hat that made me feel like we were on vacation. We hunted a few schools and met a nice lady named Deanna who was swinging a Fisher at a local park.

She was also from out of town, and blew us away when she showed us a 14k diamond ring she had just found. I found a silver pendant and a few dollar coins. All in all, a fun day.

I went out later and did a little night detecting too.

Saturday, MM held a fishing derby and both my kids won a trophy.

Thanks again MM for a extra cool weekend!

Folks,
Ridley's kids are as lucky as their old man! Those little squirts cleaned house at our annual fishing derby. Both ended up with trophies for the largest game & pan fish in their age group. Then as an extra bonus, we drew names for gift cards as prizes. Guess who won? Those two Ridlets again. I think I need to have the Ridley family pick my lottery numbers. It was a great derby, and a lot of fun for all the kids.
I got skunked MDing with Ridley this w/end, so nothing much to post on my end.
I'll get em' next time.

Ridley - some good finds.

It is fishing time. I hope to get my boat out on Lake Erie this weekend.

Shoot MM, I thought you were holding out. Polishing your gold and silver....next time.

Bob,
The only silver I was polishing this w/end was a few Silver Bullet beers. I threw my back out last week helping my brother move furniture, so MDing was a real challenge. Ouch. I must be getting old.
I'm planning to go up to the NC mountains this w/end to detect at a few spots with my son, and my brother. I'm trying to get Ridley to go so I can put his DFX to shame with my $200 Tesoro.
We'll see if he takes me up on the challenge.
Take care,
MM

Hope you recover quickly. Those back injuries take time though.

Put him to shame?! Danimal use to put me to shame with his ACE 250. But then I would laugh at him when he would dig those deep rusty nails. Everyone has their day.

My thought's excactly Ridley....Congrat's to your Kid's on a job well done as well for yourself.One heck of a day....Congrat's again

I thought you folks would get a kick out of that derby. MM designed and made that wooden boat and the fish himself. In fact, he created the entire derby.
All the kids had a blast! As for my kids, (yes the ones on the ends), they will never forget the experience.

MM and I were mainly on a scouting expedition on Sunday. We found two locations that are easy to dig and have plenty of potential, with a third location we eyeballed. Now we can carpool to any of them and hunt all day.

I just remembered that we saw the bikini-lady in her yard on the way home and I waved to her. So it really was a weekend to remember!
