Got an invite from Forum Brother Yooper69 to come up and do a NoX runNGun in the Keewenaw ...
Multiple disciplines were employed...
We Hunted: Coinstar, Curbstrips, Schools, Beach and Water, Boatramps, Parks, Gravel roads, Private yards, took his boat to some old water in front of lakefront places, even eyehunting in and out of gas stations to see if we could find a penny or two...I mean we were solid hunting for anything! No TV, No Internet distractions, just solid hunting!
It was something!...I have to make about 6 posts to cover it all! We Hunted NonStop and found:
Old Silver, Wheaties, Tokens, Float Copper, New Private yard Permissions..What an Experience! Had the best bacon Cheeseburger of my Life at a little ChokeNpuke diner right along one curbstrip after the Yoop pulled that no date Stander!
At night, we'd make a fire, knock back a few and sit up talking late...About Life and Detecting and Finds and Nox's and such...The glowing embers in front and the Milky Way overhead for mood lighting.....Big Owls hooting in agreement as a witness of Hunters...
Damndest sensory overload I will try to compress into some lucid and coherently informative and entertaining posts for overall Forum enjoyment......
I dont know if I can do it justice though...
This is generally a Solitary Sport....We always say, "The real treasure is in the Hunt"...I never really got that line there?...I dont want to Hunt, I want to find!
After this trip, I'm thinking that line holds some merit...the real treasure is being in the Fellowship of Hunters AND finding stuff..let alone the strange experiences along the way!
One guy at a Quicky Mart tried to sell us a bundle of generic campfire wood for $7.50!..I'm like damn! WTH? Delivered? Elvis comes and lights it with a gold plated Zippo? What is this stuff? Bubinga? Spalted Elm? Ebony? Birds Eye Maple? Is it like a whole years supply of magical fire wood compressed or something, like Port Orford cedar arrow shafts?? Stradivarious? laughing:.
Yoop said, "since its the end of the season, Hows about I get two bundles for the price of one?" Guys says, "If you try to take two bundles, I'll have to call the cops!" Like really? "Good! You are the one trying to rip me off!"
"Hows about if I pay you for one and take two, you call the cops, and then I beat you to death with this mop handle and sit in the beer cooler drinking for a little waiting for them to show up so I can explain myself? Would that be OK?"
You know the cops would be on our side...Nobody would ever buy a bundle of gas station firewood for $7.50! Unless at the North Pole or some damn where, not in the UP, about the treeiest place on Earth..
