Thanks for all the great replies. the eye glasses are adult size but really thin framed and round in shape. Like i said as soon as i get my cam working again i will take pics. Does anybody know a place where i can find other metal detectorist here in southern Utah? Thats probably a good idea free. I am definately a forgetfull person so jotting something down is not a bad idea.


Thanks again

Thanks Greg! It is kinda hard to find detectorist here because the area i live is so remote. The popular area in Utah is Salt Lake City and that is 4 hours from me. There is so many metal detecting clubs and prospectors up there but no one can afford to travel these distances....lol..I guess that leaves more for me to find
