Three of us headed out this morning for a water hunt. As you can see in the above pic, we were prepared for any misfortunes such as leaky coils, dead batteries, electrical malfunction......anything Murphy's law might bestow upon us. Fortunately, all went flawlessly and we had a great day until thunder & lightning started, at which point we called it quits.
At one point, I left the freshwater lake for a bodily function break, and when I returned to the water, I was stopped by a Fish and Wildlife Officer, who had been watching us from his cruiser, and thought perhaps we were shocking fish with our equipment
. I broke out laughing at what he said, and after I did some explaining, he too had a good laugh. Seems he was from the east coast, and had never seen one of these metal detectors before, and seeing the 3 of us in the water on a cool day 18 C /56 F got his curiosity.One of us got three rings...(not I) and the other two got zero rings. Below is my take for the day. Not bad, since the ice had just recently meted, and nobody has been in the water yet this year.
