Went looking for gold, found some "gems" instead!

Ok folks, here is the start of my treasure hunting that has started since Saturday, February 11. I went to North Georgia (60 miles south of me) to look for placer gold with my metal detector. No luck on the gold, not even a flake. However, I did make sure that all the trash that was on the property (30 gallon trash bag's worth), went back home with me to the dump.

However, the day wasnt a total waste, it was rather entertaining! Here is what I did find..... ;D

I drove down the road another 15 minutes, and ran across this.....

2 miles later, another one!

On the way back home, I thought I would get in some practice at a ballpark, I hoped for some clad, maybe even an off chance to find a ring. All I managed to get from that park, was the visual facts that someone made a home-run, and another person had made it to home-base. :laughing7:

Great rubber packet. Maybe Bigfoot used it. It looks like the creature is a little light in the loafers in the second sign there.

I'm sure this post has a message hidden and I can not figure it out . :icon_scratch: .. only I realize that the two Big foot posters were made by two different persons . :dontknow:

for what reason the first photo has a red stripe in the middle?
for what reason that photographing these posters?
for what reason You pick up trash from the rest?
Greetings ! :hello:

No hidden message here Hispan, please allow me to explain....

1. The first photo is of myself, the red stripe was a light reflection that was caused by flash bulb on the camera. It's a photograph flaw that I wish wasn't there, but its the most recent picture that I have of myself (I rarely get photographed).

2. The bigfoot posters were made by the same person, I dont believe or disbelieve in bigfoot, but its always funny to see these types of signs being posted around. At least to me it is!

3. I pick up trash after other people because it gives our hobby a good image and also it garauntees that I will be allowed to come back to detect again. A person's reputation is worth more than its weight in gold. Also, it just makes the land so much better to look at. :icon_thumleft:
