What I found today(Gold Silver doesnt even come close)

[metal mania]

We all search for different items when we metal detect perhaps for some its the glint of gold the thrill of finding a 1916d mercury.

But today whilst detecting I think maybe just maybe I found something more precious than gold more eye catching than a well cut diamond.

And yet all I found was a ton of ring pulls and still I figure that stuck out there in a wind swept desolate place I hit lucky today.

I'm not what you would call a religious man that is I don't practice religion as such so what did I find that went beyond materialistic processions.

A connection to nature a feeling of being with one with the surroundings that I had found myself in kind of a scary feeling a stillness and feeling of calm.

A picture of times past a connection to a time long gone yet eternally timeless a paradoxical enigma.

A sudden realization that some of you guys already know.

All that glitters isn't Gold.

MM,
I know the feeling. Some of the old properties I hunt have some real beauty. Like this picture I took last weekend of the horses in the field & the old church in the background. I didn't have my camera with me at the time, so I stopped detecting, trekked across the field to my truck to get it, and came back to get the shot. It was a little piece of heaven to me being out there that day.
I also get the same calming peaceful feeling when I go back to my hometown and go out in the country. It's almost like I can stand out there in those fields and my body recharges. I think we forget about the really important things in our hectic lives sometimes. This is my stress relief.

I couldn't agree more. If not for detecting I would have gone bizerk years ago. Peace of mind is one of the greatest gifts one can possess.

I feel ya Les, when I'm out there all I do is daydream about what I'll dig next, or hope to dig anyway(most of the time it involves a halfdime ) nothing bad ever seems to cross your mind out there except when my chief calls and tells me to come back to work.. What part of MO u from Les? Rolla here

I really liked this post. I like just getting out either with my daughter or a freind to do some detecting and haveing a good time. Getting out in the fresh air and enjoying the company. To see what comes out of the next hole that you did or the next scoop in the sand. Hope I can get out this week end and if any one would like to tag along drop me a line......Matt
