Metal Detecting discussions and finds

How do guys/gals??? I hope everyone is doing well??? Nobody caught any "rona" I hope???!!!

Long story short, let's just say I've had family emergency issues on top of all the other stuff going on in the world and on the VERY TOP of it all, I was, more or less, forced to "adopt/inherit" a family member that was heading for a shelter if not "claimed" and "I" could NOT let that happen. So, I took it upon myself to take care of her. Bought her a cat tree, the whole 9!!! Plus, she just went in today as soon as I got off of work for her first checkup/evaluation and got her shots and everything. The doctor agrees that she is no more than 2yrs old.

Anyways, here's a picture of her... my brother named her "Tegriessa"... super MELLOW cat and he basically rescued her when he noticed her wandering around the mobile home park he was living in... she was no more than maybe 4x months old or thereabouts, at the time, when he just saw her wandering around and crying out... now fast forward roughly just over a year later, given recent events, I am now the owner and doing my best to take care of her for him.


The little shi* is already taking over "MY" favorite chair???!!!


Now the MEME I made... Anyways, just thought I'd make my own MEME relative to metal detecting life!!! HAHAHAHAHA,




HH people \_

 

HAHAHAHAHA, I could use that button for my shorts!!! My old one "popped OFF" as I was moving stuff in my storage unit a few weeks back.

Nice finds... especially the button!!!

 

Hi WileE! Your thread still lives as do you!! Love that meme, I am going to have to borrow that one!

Leash train that cat and take it out with you when you go detecting cause it is a lucky cat, it sure won the lottery!!

Take care and keep in touch!

 

Glad to hear you're still alive!
Cats are cool! I'll be honest though, never once did I think about detecting the litter box. I prolly should though, as the back room where I keep it is the only suitable place to detect in this August heat.
Turns out I wasn't born with the Hartung gene allowing a person to detect in 120+ heat...

 

ALL!!! Thanks for keeping my thread and the hobby alive guys!!!

Yeah avoiding the cooties as much as possible!!!

HAHAHA, by all means, go ahead and "spread the word" by using my MEME.

She's already leashed trained.




She's still a bit timid around her new surroundings though. I've only had her for about 2.5wks now. But I try to take her out to the nearby park... see below how big/long it is... just sucks it's a "pole line". But I SHOULD be able to get some detecting in with little interference... just need to turn down the sense, which is fine with me as my finds are typically pretty shallow anyways.

I'm also gonna get a bike basket so she can cruise with me. I still need to look in on those, but I have a rough idea on which one I want to get.

Yeah, I don't do well with heat myself!!!

Btw, here's the "pole line" park I've been talking about that is just down the street from me. See my little truck in the picture upper-right corner of the pic.


And it continues in the other direction (i.e. behind me).

Plus, there are plenty of "tot lots" I can hit along the way if I get tired of digging some Earth. Sorry, I meant "cutting plugs" from the Earth... not digging.

 

Depending on your detector, you may have trouble around all those power lines.
Nice cat, I guess.

Edit: I should have read the whole post...LOL

 

Yeah, I already know about possible issues with the power lines.

Just as long as I turn down the sense it's decent, but lose depth, which is fine because I typically don't go all that deep anyways... typically.

I've had experience before with power lines in another city and don't expect any difference.

My go-to heater is my ACE250, which I'm very comfortable with and like it quite a bit.

EDIT: I usually sand hunt the beach more than land as the return investment is fairly good with the quarters and dimes.

 

This has me missing Slaters 50/50 burgers....

 

First time dirt fishing in a Trout Stream and found this. A 60 year old bus fare token. Think I'm going to start finding other old fishing spots to hit.

 

That is cool! Nice find!

 

Nice!

 

Now I really have to try that place? Not the first time I heard it.

I like "Angelo's Burgers" and a place called "Fantastic Burgers".

 

"Bus fare token"??? That's pretty damn cool!!!

Some of the things that can be found can be pretty good talking pieces... at least it would be interesting to me as a conversation piece.

Pretty cool find for sure.

 

Its crazy the stuff you can find...especially when you dont expect you'd find a certain item somewhere

 

Thanks all for your comments.... I have been driving past that fishing stream for many years before giving it a try.

 

Is that the place on Westminster and Bolsa Chica?

 

If there is an Angelo's Burgers there or Fantastic Burgers, I don't know about it?

The only Angelo's Burgers I know around the Orange County, CA area is located on Westminster and Newhope. I've never been or seen any other one that I've ever driven by.

Regarding Fantastic Burgers, that is the one that is near Cherry Ave North (i.e. Long Beach area) near the Boeing building and/or Long Beach Air Port. I only discovered that place because my old boss used to stop by there before we went to service one of the fire stations. Super GOOD burgers for sure!!! The fries are "thick cut" type fries and has a sort of that light season salt type seasoning? I don't know what type of seasoning, but they're good.

Anyways, I always tell people to at least try out Fantastic Burgers. "I" like it at least, but it has been about 3yrs now since I've been there, so I'm pretty sure they're still there, but ???

Going back to Angelo's Burgers, their Gyros are really good too!!! That's if you like Gyros?

 

Check out the Fantastic location over by Boeing HB. Best gyro I've ever had, was at the Mad Greek in Corona. Not entirely sure its still there though.

 

HAHAHAHAHA, you know what, I THINK I know which one you are talking about now. You're right, there is a burger place next to a Palates business near Bolsa Chica and Westminster!!! DUMBA$$ ME!!! I haven't been to that one in quite a few years now though. I'm pretty sure it's still there, but this rona crap is just bad business... literally!!! I hope it is still there because yeah, I've gotten a Gyro there before and damn good food overall.

 

Jackpot! https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-53714864

Even though he was part of an archaeologist dig, what a great find.
