I found this on Craigslist and called the guy telling him I have a metal detector. He said he would call me tomorrow afternoon and we could look for it. He said he lost it near his work at AT&T. What AT&T place I have no idea. If anyone wants to help give me a call and we will try to find this for him. I know I need more help than just me. A few more would be great if you want some time to kill. He is offering a lot of money if you want that also. Even though I have been out of work for almost a year now, it`s not the money I would be after, it`s watching his face light up when we say "Is this it"? Just a thought to ponder since the weather is nice for a day or two.

Just a short introduction about myself.
I'm one of the newest to the club (Feb.), and still learning about this wonderful renewed Hobby. My nickname comes from the other hobby I have. Thats training and showing Agility Dogs. Love Golf (8 handicap) too if ya need to fill out a foursome or less. I had a detector when I was a kid in the 60's and loved it then. Of course pretty girls came along, an education, and fell away from MD'in.
I have a Garrett Ace 250 and love it so far. Looking forward to a bigger and better one. I've dug almost every inch of my front/back yard and found over $3 in clad and a Silver/Gold ring that has been the best highlight of my all my digging so far. Have a couple of neighbors that will let me dig their yards, but know I will only be finding what I've found in my yard.
Looking for the Club token has given me a couple short time digs in a few parks with no real finds. I think I've got it narrowed down to one particular park though. I walked through it the today and it showed no signs of it being dug/plugged yet, so thats good to see. Did find just one 1936 Merc but it looked like it was boiled in acid.
OK maybe that wasn't so short an intro.:S
I met a few of you at the last meeting, and hope to meet more as time goes on.
I'm looking for a couple of new dig buddies that will help show me the ropes, and a couple of different places I could dig.
I'm a business owner, and available most of the time to get away.
I can keep a secret too...:wink:
OK thanks for reading if you got this far and didn't give on this rambling poor slob pouring his heart out, and begging for a chance to dig for something different like a civil war bullet or a silver coin.
Thanks
