Default "Tree huggin"

Went to a new park today. Not alot of people go to this remote park. But I had to see if I could get lucky. Found one penny in the play ground then I moved on to what I call "Tree Huggin". This park has many large Oak trees in a grassy area. So Tree huggin. Is, I go from tree trunk to tree trunk and check around them. Here in Florida on hot days people like to sit under the shad trees. That makes for a great place to look for pocket drops......Tree Huggin....

here is what I found, not a lot but did not go home empty.
12 pennies
1 nickle
1 dime
2 quarters

Also found a great looking blond sitting in my Jeep Wrangler,,,,,,,My Wife...

That's another nice thing about detecting if you like the outdoors, you get to hunt in some nice places.

Default I hugged one once

I hugged a tree once on an old Harley pan head, took me about 2 months to get over that one, scooter never did recover
I do agree that hunting around the bases of large trees seems to pay off. One of the nicest rings I found was at the base of a tree.

Sounds like a good day. I always hit the tree areas and have done good at the base of trees.
