Latest Finds

Dug out the Tesoro Bandido that I had bought about 25 years ago not long back. Have been hitting it pretty hard lately.







I found one of the mercs and the silver Roosevelt at our local searched out park, along with the silver ring. The other merc I found at a searched out church campgrounds. So much for "searched out".

Went out for a little bit again today, but had equipment malfunctions. Either my headphones or the jack is messed up.

Time for new jeans and a new detector.
