    Got the ok to hunt my dream site!!!!!

    I took my dogs for a walk this New Years morning near the training facility of the Oakland Raiders which is about a mile from my house, some guy comes up to me to see if I'm picking up after my dogs, as he got closer I recognized him as one of my old employee's from 8 years ago, he takes care of the field along with other school fields, I gave him the shoulder bump and we talked about about a half hour about old times, I told him that field would be a dream site for a detectorist, he says he's in charge of it and I can hunt it anytime during the weekends f, just give him a call and he would unlock the gate for me, I took the dogs home and called my hunting buddy Kim to see if he wanted to hunt it with me, well his machine is in for repair and has a new MXT Pro coming Wednesday, Kim invites me to his favorite sites so I will wait till next weekend to hunt the facility with him, what makes this site nice is during the summer after the raiders leave, there are soccer leagues that play there all weekend long with games going on all day long, those sidelines have got to be loaded from all the soccer bags, not to mention the raiders bling that might of been lost, this is one site that I know is virgin grounds because of the 10 foot fences all around the facility.




    My new hunting grounds
