A special Thank You to WaterColor ( Mark B. ) for taking the pictures.
The morning started with Mark and I doing a soon to be demo.
From there we did another soon to be demo.
After not much luck we decided to try our luck at some park.
Once again no luck.
Mark wanted to go to an old school but I said lets try this guy I know that has a house about a 1/2 mile away.
I have known the owner for many years so went up and rang the bell and Bob answered the door.
After some small talk we started to hunt around.
Bob was telling us about a ring that was lost when he was small and that it may be on the property.
So the hunt was on.
After a while we went to the back yard.
After about an hour Mark found his " First Silver Quarter " HIGH FIVES were in order.
I found an old clothes pin made of aluminum.
After about another 1/2 hour I got a nice signal and uncovered a little bit of the Silver Chain.
After some picture taking I pulled the chain from it's darkness.
As we looked at it, Bob said. That chains looks like the one I use to wear in college.
Well you have it back now......
It felt pretty good to give it back....
I also found a cuff link that may have belonged to his Father. He was going to see if the other one was in his Fathers belongings.
Thanks again Mark for having the camera with you.....

Good for you.

An undisciplined hunter with a highly capable machine will miss many more targets than a disciplined hunter with a limited machine.
