Metal Detecting with friends

[Gregory]

Johnwpa arrived at my house at quarter till nine this morning
We drove to Fairchance to hit our hot spot, the weather was very nice with a light breeze and in the seventies. After firing up my Minelab I got a quick hit and laying just under the leaves was a very nice gas station token. I believe these were handed out in the sixties.

John and I then spotted another building far back in the woods, as we was investigating we found what looks like newspaper dies or negatives laying right on top of the ground. I believe I gathered six or seven of these.

We then drove to Greensboro to meet with Wyatt Earp, at first glance he really did resemble Mr. Earp
After talking a bit we headed for the river bank. The river was very low and I detected along the water's edge but but found no coins. John and Wyatt were skunked too, I guess it wasn't meant to be.

I might add that Wyatt showed us one of his Banjos that he made. I have never seen such a beautiful well made banjo. He played us a little tune and showed us his past finds That was the look on my face when I saw them two Civil War buttons!!!

Lets get together again soon,

Hey Greg.......I have a lead on yet another picnic grove....

We aren't going to get skunked every time. We were just in the wrong place at the right time.

Im going to see if I can get a look at the old newspapers I told you about too. It's a great way to find obscure events and places....and may not pay off, but you don't know until you try. The more knowledge you have...the better off you are. I would rather have my old beachcomber and a previously undetected site....than the best detector in the world and a place that's been hunted hard for 30 years.

I enjoyed meeting you and John. We'll do better next time out. I have another turn of the century farmhouse or 2 to ask permission to hunt. We might do well at one (or both) of those.
