Oh yeah, that blog thing! How could I forget? Well, I could start off with a million excuses for why I haven’t put anything in my blog...but that would be short at LEAST one excuse if not a few more! So let’s just say I’ve been both lazy and busy.
Through my association with the folks at Garrett Metal Detectors, I’ve managed to get my picture in a magazine ad, as well as in their current catalog! This has made for some interesting conversations and a little showing off, but unfortunately there are a lot of people at work that now call me ‘Hollywood ’. Not exactly what I intended… Still, it looks like a potential prospecting trip may arise from my 10 seconds of fame, and I hear rumors of a group hunt in some exotic location that sounds extremely promising!
I guess I need to dust off the detector and get back out there. I have at least one really cool historic site that I’ve been working on for a couple years. All I’ve managed to come up with so far are a few old minie balls and a musket ball, some old buckles, and some wheatback pennies. All good mind you, just still not what I believe the potential really is on this place. There are 3 old homesites, and old RACETRACK, a mule train stop, and even further back in time this place was ground zero for a post War Between the States feud. Wow, lots to look for! Mind you, that’s just ONE cool site, I also have so many leads to others that I may actually never be able to visit them all! I need to win the lottery so I have more time for hobbies!
Speaking of the lottery, I need to win it just to gear up with all the detectors I need! Turns out there are niches in this hobby and detectors to fill every one-go figure! Maybe I'll start up a begging website for people to donate to my addiction. Or is that affliction?
So with the little free time I’ve had lately, I’ll just say that it’s hard to balance everything! I did manage to get out and kill 2 pigs but that’s a different story for later.
