Woke up at sunrise and went to a old piece of property to practice All Metal Mode.

I like All Metal Mode on the Max. I’ve hit this place a cleared out most of coins, but I got a lot of targets I think I would have passed up. AM gets a lot of interesting smalls. If anyone knows what the pieces might be feel free to tell me thanks

1) I like this thing because it looks like it’s a tooth. IMG_1504.webpIMG_1505.webp

2) Old hair pin. Reminds of the ones my grandma wore. IMG_1506.webpIMG_1507.webp

3) Very small “Happy Sad Masks” button. IMG_1532.webpIMG_1533.webp

4) A glass ornament with patina lead around itIMG_1512.webpIMG_1513.webpIMG_1514.webp

5) Something with a star on it not sure if it’s lead or not. IMG_1528.webpIMG_1529.webpIMG_1530.webp

6) What I thought was a piece of a broken pocket knife. When I got home cleaned it up and saw writing. No idea what is says. IMG_1523.webpIMG_1524.webp

7) Good ol’ 1937 wheatie IMG_1525.webp

8) Lead nail caps. Finds up perfect nickel signals. UgggghIMG_1527.webp

Very different hunt for me I like it

I like that happy/sad faces button....super unusual and SUPER cool in my book.
 

Very nice finds Truth! The Max looks to be a good detector. HH!
 

This was another site and I’m doing just that. I’m letting that spot at the park heal itself. This spot is on piece of land in Bay St. Louis Ms, 45 mins from my house.

I liked the area, was stationed in Gulfport back in the mid 90's. A bunch of Brett Farve fans around the bay. Keep at it...
 

It's acceptable at Wally World too:icon_thumleft: Nice finds Truth!

I haven’t walked in a Walmart in years too big triggers my anxiety. Basically I’m Dollar General, EBay and Amazon 2 day Prime. Amazon was a god sent for the social anxiety and sometimes just being lazy guy.

Man you dress nicer than Me .

At 46 & having no But , I need suspenders, i'm talking about in public. At home it's Sweats or Underwea

As for Hunting attire , LOL , Worn out Cargo type pants , with tool belt (Hood Style underwear showing) but after 6-8 hours of walking in Cleats in the Heat esp, I don't care what people think.

Hmm No wonder I hunt Alone... I'm to Ugly to get permissions.
Also wear a worn out Backpack cause ,I been in the woods to many times w/o what I need.

Truth , I also noticed yr 'Hydration' pack in one of yr photos, I bought a nice one a few years back but i'm to cheap to use it.
Camel Back & Camo too.

Mucho patience to you as 'All Metal' Can drive one Crazy.
 

No but my best friend does, he’s a charter captain, and he said he’s good people.

"Oh I yurn to be close to the Sea , know a boat owner who knows Tom Landry" . Or 'Old Stone Face' as my Step Dad called him.'

RustyGold I have to admit I’m really liking it a lot. It still has the easy “turn on and go” as the ATP but it has ( to me ) better tones and has more horsepower. Among the obvious larger numbers, backlight and that grip. And it’s great to have AM on the Garrett.

I can actually handle Wal-mart, 'With the Help of Ms. Xanax' 'Legally Taken'. But Target Stores Depress me.

Thinking ...I can honestly not recall ever buying anything at Target.

Also large crowds don't bother me 'anymore' it's when a handful of people are involved that my Anxiety get's Bad.

We used to go to Biloxi, Bay St ,louis on day trips 'By Air' in the Early & Mid 1990's , I drove down a few times in the late 90's , To Gamble of-course , That was when the Casinos had to be "On the Water". & Before N.O. Approved Gaming.

Still never been to N.O.
I do recall that part of the Gulf Coast was Very Nice, & Hurricane Camille was still talked about, & Mega Disaster Shows would talk about what would happen if N.O. took a direct hit. .....Then Came Katrina ???

Knew some Crazy Long Black Haired 'Cult Band' loving Jack Daniels Chugging Cajuns from Homa L.A Back in the Day.
WOW! Good & Bad Times. Kinda like all the Trips to Panama City Beach 2-3 Times each Spring Break form 1988 -1995 .
Surprised I'm still alive.

Sorry I'm ranting , I got to go to a 'Fall Gathering' at 12.30 so i'm sweatin that.
But
It's out west of me in Civil War Country that I don't hunt much, & gonna wear my Clubs T-Shirt sooo,hope to get a site or 2.

GL down there Truth.

“Mucho patience to you as 'All Metal' Can drive one Crazy.” You got that right. Davers that hydration pack is a lifesaver in this Louisiana humidity it feels like the armpit of America. I’m having to add another piece to my get up. I ordered a sling for my detector. I MD almost every day and I haven’t detected in 2 days. My arms are fried from those big coils and my hands are going numb all the time.

46 with suspenders is hilarious!! Lol Hey I’m no better I wear the Hoover Boys (Kurt’s) red, white and blue head and wrist bands for the pouring sweat down here my wife laughs at me and calls me John McEnroe. Yeah I don’t care what people think. Heck on top of that I have my MAGA hat that makes me stick out like a soar thumb in liberal/Democrat New Orleans and it’s not bright red anymore it’s WELL worn trust me. I think you have to truly not care what people think to be a true detectorist. IMG_1012.webp

We’re the same age (1969) I’m surprised I survived many of Panama City Beach spring breaks 85-92. I graduated in 88 had my gold school ring for a month and a half. Brought it to the pawn shop and went to spring break. Sad but true.

Yea Man ,Something told me you were a Party Type guy back in the day.

I 'Should have Graduated in 89 But ? 'Anxiety / OCD 'Worry" Made high school hard for me , Self Medicated with the Booze to much & had to Put it down in 2001.

Ill bet me may have Shared a Funnel or some Brews behind La-Vela , Spinnaker's , & The Summit Condos?

& Yelled at the same Young Ladies while Cruzin the Strip.

Crazy how life fly's by , I recall like yesterday being on the 9th floor Summit looking down at "The Shark Dude" at La-Vela Choosing girls for the swimsuit contest ; I was 17 that year & thought next year Ill be 18 and can get in that place.8-).

It was pretty crazy in 95 Girls kissing Girls & the Flashing started, heard it only got worse.

Think u 'may'? have ordered a 'Swing Thingy'. I think they are called, that will help a-lot.
I need to start using my Camel Back , I usually carry 2-4 20 oz Gator-Aids '2' Frozen , all Summer tho it add's 'much' weight to carry in the backpack.

Go Bull Dogs!!!!!!! Sorry they just scored a TD. Atlanta & Georgia teams are not known for 'Championships' , just embarrassing Super Bowl appearances. We did get 1 World Series in 95 .

The Falcons & Saints just love Each other.:laughing7:

OK back to 2017, I'm pretty hype about detecting tomorrow as on the way home I saw 2 areas where tree clearing was going on, & at sites I have Found stuff before , & even better No-Body was detecting either place , heck might just put on the headlamp & leave about 4-5 am , with the time change.
If I get something ill let everybody know in the CW section , Pic's always take me time :BangHead:

Gl in all yr future hunts.

P.S . The Mask button is Cool.

Yeah I got sober in 2002. I was always a nervous kid, typical dysfunctional 80’s single parent upbringing, in bars at 14. It was hard to get sober in New Orleans, the city that sobriety forgot about, but I did it. I’m not watching NFL this year I’m angry at the whole ledge. Not missing it either and that’s not good. Have a good hunt tomorrow I’ll be looking for your post. Good luck buddy.

ok, I'm not a doctor. Instead of xanax ask your doc for citalopram, you won't get so sleepy ( and no I don't sell it)

I respect your 'NFL' Opinion , in reality I have watched 1 full game in the past 5 years +.

One can speak out or ones agenda w/o spitting on the True Hero's that died & lived with injury for this Great Country.
&
Good for you getting your life together so many years ago.
In this world it can be a 'Bitc^'.

I'm an opposite person ,Downers make me up , & uppers make me down.
So I don't get sleepy off the Xanax unless it's been a 18-20 hour day & then its welcome.

I would not ask if you sold citalopram. lol , don't know about anything about it but with a name ending in "pram" but it sounds like a Benzo as well.?

Ill save that discussion for another thread.

Nice finds! Glad you are enjoying your new machine. :occasion14:
