Metal Detecting discussions and finds

Nice ! I've been through this routine too. Like cleaning for the In-laws right before a visit...

 

Yeah, no kidding about that one!!!

Welcome to the insane asylum.

 

@Taco-Obsessed I just bathed my little baby CJ and she's pretty healthy.

She'll be a year old in Sept.

She lets me pick her up pretty quick and easy too.

 

Warm hands

 

We had one that my son caught... but we already have this Australian horny toad (aka bearded dragon)

 

They both look really good. Fat bodies all filled up.

 

HAHAHA, she kinda likes baths/soakings and she doesn't.

but yeah, she loves kicking back while holding her and you're likely right. And she sleeps while doing so ... I'm typing one-handed right now and it's a PITA!!! HAHAHA

 

Yeah she ate well this morning just before I went to work.

 

I mean overtime, takes long time for fat bodies to get used up if underfed. She looks good.

 

Ahhhh, understood...

 

Yeah, long story short, this one would have been crushed under my front driver-side tire if I had not seen her out of the corner of my eye!!! She had to have been roughly only about 3x weeks old or thereabouts.

My mom always hated it because I'm always looking down towards the ground when I walk and my "posture" as well!!! Well the way I see it now, I was born to be an off-roader and metal detectorist!!!

 

Some kind of lizard, was pretty big. Not a very good pic. There was a smaller one also

 

Just found this thread. I have had two metal detectors over the years. I had a White’s model in the early 90’s (don’t remember which one) that I got when I started off roading in the desert. I sold it because it was too difficult to use. A few years later, I got a Tesoro Conquistador, which I still have. I never really got into detecting, but it still interests me, which is probably why I never sold the Tesoro, as it seems so basic. Maybe I will see if I can find a group to go out with to learn the finer points of detecting. There are a lot of areas out in northern LA county that would be cool to check out.

I also have a bunch of lizards at my house, but they are all free range! I like watching then do push-ups on my back wall.

 

Dear Ann,

A buddy of mine in Arizona keeps sending me these prospecting porn pictures from the area he’s been working


They make my prospecting seen small and worthless. How do I get him to stop and leave me alone?

Signed,

Hey MarcM,

Are you closer to the deserts or coast? There are some great places between you and Kern County, The El Paso mountains and other parts of the Mojave are historically good for prospecting. If you are into coins and other stuff, lots of old sites and detecting along the beaches and parks, too. Check out the website detectorprospector.com for more info about it too.

 

Thanks for the info, Mr Road. I am in Santa Clarita.

 

I met a couple people your way that were members of the prospectors club of So Cal. That seems to be a pretty good group you might check out. Have fun out there! http://www.prospectorsclub.org/,

 

I hadn't remembered seeing that brand of button before... it inspired me to dig through some of the ones I hadn't sorted yet and I found one, although a different variation. I'll attach a pic of it along with some of the others.



Here's another picture showing most of the buttons I have dug. Whenever I'm trying to impress a woman i bust this out

 

Very nice! I have some decent buttons also and I will post them up. However, most of mine look like the pile in your second photo. I found a small bead (surface find) the last time I was out.
Man oh man, I need to find a woman who is impressed by junky old buttons.....
