TUESDAY VIDEO RELEASE: CANNABIS, COYOTE & CAR oh my

MONDAY MEME

It's Monday, and that means time for a meme.

How many of us have pulled the "one hour" routine?

It's never an hour - more like a minimum of 6.

That's about it.  If you haven't seen my latest video where I read viewer comments, please give it a view.

Until next time, KEEP IT REAL

NEW DETECTOR: WHITES MX5

NEW METAL DETECTOR 😀

I have added a new metal detector to my arsenal.  Say hello to the WHITES MX5.

The MX5 is a versatile detector that can be used almost anywhere - with both a general purpose Coin mode and a Beach mode that allows ground tracking even in wet salt sand.

Here are some highlights according to Big Boys Hobbies:

• Adjustable Notch Discrimination
• Automatic Ground Balance with AutoTrac®
• Backlit Display
• Beach Mode
• Coin/Jewelry Mode
• Depth Reading
• Lighweight
• On/OFF Button
• Salt and Freshwater
• Tone ID
• Two-year Parts and Labor Warranty
• Waterproof 9" Spider Coil

Here is a closer look at the display:

The full specifications are listed here:

• Audio Output: Speaker & 1/4" Headphone
• Batteries: 8 "AA"
• Battery Life: 20
• Optional Coils: Eclipse Family
• Standard Coil: 9"
• Frequency: 14

This unit retails for $719 plus tax in Canada.  However I purchased it for a phenomenal price from an estate sale.  It was never been used, and apart from the original box that is missing - it is complete.  It came with 8 Duracell rechargeable batteries.  I use the same batteries in my Garrett AT Pro and have found them to long lasting between charges.

I have not had the opportunity to swing this detector yet and am looking forward to the first hunt of the spring.  No doubt that between the MX5 and the AT Pro, I should be able to thoroughly search most sites.

THURSDAY: What is this?

Today's item was found in field, which has yielded items from the mid 1800s.

It certainly looks like a partially completed arrowhead.  Could it be a chipping?

Rear does not look worked

This view certainly looks like it's been worked

The right edge is very thin

Edge looks thin

We think it is an unfinished chipping.  

What do you think? 

Until next time, KEEP IT REAL

TUESDAY: Video Release - Shiny 2 Piece Button

MONDAY: Metal Detecting Meme

It's Monday and that means it's time for a meme.

I will admit I may have detected the metal pieces of my boots, however I have never dug down this far before realizing that was the case.  

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Until tomorrow, KEEP IT REAL

FRIDAY: Find Day

FIND DAY !!!

Well I must say Kelly and I were shaking our heads as to what this was when we unearthed it.

Here's another view.

Do you know what it is?  Let me tell you.

It is a marijuana "bud buster".  

Yes, I was shocked when someone told me what it is.

You find the weirdest things when you are metal detecting.

What is the weirdest thing you have pulled from the ground?

That's it for today.  Until next time, KEEP IT REAL !!!

WEDNESDAY VIDEO DAY: Musket Ball in the Hole

It's Wednesday, and that means a video.

In this episode, my digging buddy Kelly unearths a musketball.  It was very unexpected, however it told us that this was an OLD area.  It was also the first of many great finds, as we moved to even an older area of this old pasture.

I have been spending a great deal of time with an elderly parent in the hospital.  I am hoping that she will be well soon and will be returning home shortly.  In the meantime, I will try to keep posting on a regular schedule.

Until next time,

KEEP IT REAL
