Metal detecting is the patient search for things that have been lost,
while accepting that we will find what has been thrown away also.
On Friday I hit a patch of castoffs in the gorge. All of it will be recycled,
but there were no treasures.
The lead.
And the brass and copper.
On Saturday and Sunday I decided to dry out for a while and hit the bush again.
This is not an admission of my need to use the bathroom, but I need to take a dump.
Actually I am referring to emptying out my pouch.
This is only part of what I needed to get rid of, the rest will follow later.
While trying to step over a fallen tree trunk on Sunday my detector hit on something.
I rolled the log out of the way thinking that it was another tin can but the signal had moved.
It turned out to actually be in the trunk.
I'm not sure if the 3" penetration was actual or if the tree grew more therefore burying it deeper.
The nitro moments were there this weekend, just not the treasures.
This one turned out to be a cheap pill container.
All of these ones are either plated or stainless. Except for the change purse handle.
That one had me going for a while. I got a mixed high tone and the handle was the first out of the hole.
The signal had changed to just a sweet high tone and my hopes were way up there.
But in the end it was the copper square nail that was giving off the great tones.
No amount of searching the entire area could produce the other half of the change purse or it's possible contents.
This is the pile O crud that I hauled out of the bush on the weekend.
And when I look at these and think of the sacrifices that they made during both WW1 and WW2.
I find it difficult to think that this is the freedom that they were fighting to preserve.
As mentioned earlier this is the second half of the dump I had to make.
Well on Saturday morning i rounded up all of those bottles and cans that I have shown coming out of the Gorge and hauled them off to the recycle depot.
Those and the ones I pulled out of the bush on the weekend paid for my gas.
Even though no treasures were found I still had fun.
AS I SAID I AM SORRY. But since I can no longer upload any pictures i have to use this method to post my finds.
