Default Helping Friends by Mding

Got a call from a friend that need my help trying to locate a lost set of keys...so after work I headed out....Hunted the yard for over an hour and no keys..but the owner was so intriged by how the detector worked he kept asking what is the beep. Like most yards I did find some clad and that sure did surprize him...with everyone I found I would tell him what kind of coin it was....and he would prob for it...out would pop the coin type I told him it would be.....bwy did I get luckyyyyyyy.....It was fun trying to help someone out and also showed how the Mding hobby is fun.....

You may have recruited the next hobbyist to the MDing world.

Looks like your friend may be bitten by the treasure bug.

Way to go!

Dri-Wash, keys not found yet! Have your friend retrace all his steps on the day that he lost the keys and you use the detector in all these areas. Years ago I lost my wedding band at my Mom's house during Easter! The problem was that I played over a very large areas of the house grounds including the ditch, front and backyards! I believe that it took me about 2 days to find it at least swinging 2 or 3 hours a day! In my case, I knew that it was a recent loss, so I did not do any digging and just looked for items in the grass but not buried yet, this technique really helped and finding it, really calmed down my newlywed wife!!..........GOOD LUCK.........................Joe
