I played hookie from work Wednesday afternoon. It was such a nice day! I headed into Springfield, MA to try my luck. I sent Angel a text message, but he was unable to meet up, Al and Tim were both at work...so I was solo. I found a spot that looked promising. Was at it for awhile, nothing but clad...but I kept at it..then....an odd signal...I dug my plug....first found 2 zincolns...then a nail....thought that was all, then... :shocked03:...an 1898 Indian 
eace:...all in the same hole..granted they weren't together. I then used Angel's method of circling the find (this really works and I recommend everyone do it)...the area was really trashy...but in circling I managed an 1916 Merc :happydance01:.
I kept working the area and managed a few wheats, an old locket, and a lot of clad.
As I was wrapping up, my wife called to say she was on her way home. I had thought it was one of her later nightsa and wasn't planning on her coming home, and if she knew I was out detecting and not at work :behave:. However, it being a work day, my cell phone kept ringing on me and of course I had to call Al at work and rub in my findsoke:. Apparently in taking my phone in and out of my pocket, I had lost my keys >:# >{. I retraced my steps and couldn't find them :hairpulling: I called my wife and told her that I might need her to go home and get my spare set and drive them out to Springfield to me...but I didn't tell her what I was doing there (As I am in Springfield a lot for work). I retraced my steps again...and found my keys <:...it only took about 45 min 8/...I called my wife to tell her I found my keys...I raced home and got there before my wife did, washed my hands and changed back into my work clothes before she got home....she was none the wiser :grin:
And I did not use my new camera for the pic...left that in the office...but I had to get this posted before I forgot to. lol
