Last night I received a text from Dan (another metal detectorist here in Victoria) asking if I would be hunting today. Silly question I know. :rolf:
So we arranged to meet this morning at 9am.
The first thing I did was to show him the area I have been working for the last month and a half and told him that I had found 90% of the finds that I had posted in that small area and that I was now working an area around the corner.
What does he do?
Spend over an hour in that area and then tells me there's no targets left.
Oh well it was his first ever water hunt and saltwater is not really the place to start but we both had fun.
We were in the water for around 3 and 1/2 hours and I slowly made my way back to the penny patch that I was working yesterday.
The good , bad and the ugly from today.
And the heart breaker. At first I thought that I had broken it with the scoop but then I realized that it was already filled with sand so someone must have stepped on it long ago. To have finally found a bott6le that one of the metal caps I have been finding has been one of my goals for almost a year.
OK on with the mundane. I don't know if this is an L or a T :dunno:
Either way it could be up to 118 years old.
And I can't believe that I found a pencil but the brass pocket keeper helped.
