What kept me going 23 years ago

Like most of us we have a beginning to our detecting story.  All of us met that guy who bought a detector and never had luck or time so he never picked it up again.  Well I started at 13 years old and all I had was time.  The luck part came shortly after.  I thought I would post a image of my area I had to detect in my area.  Everything was walking distance and mostly virgin ground.  The first location was the ball field.

well you had prime pickins by the looks of it

Wow!

Good for you !

What  a GREAT place to detect !

You must have had a lot of fun, even close to home.

I started at age 13 as well--and walked to all of the places I detected for the first few years.  I found a place near a long-vanished railroad depot where travelers would lay out and watch the river go by on sunny days.  I also found a baseball field (now a cow pasture) in use from the twenties through WWII.  It is amazing how much there is to find close by where many of us live.  Came in mighty handy before I could legally drive a car!
