Default Gold Ring After my Brief Break from MDing..

I took a two month break from metal detecting. I had to. The drive and hunger was gone. It happens to us all at some point. So this morning I went to the flea market that has been my lust this Summer and found it must be vacation time for the vendors as not too many had set up. Oh well, perfect day to detect, overcast, humid and we had a good rain yesterday. Grabbed my DFX and went down to a local school just to get out and enjoy what I love to do, relax and dig.. Instant satisfication as I was in the soccer area and hit a smooth sound 15-20 VDI on the DFX and six inches down was the 14K Mens wedding band. I'm hooked again

Also happy the FMDF is back.. I missed it..

Taking some time off can be very refreshing, and finding gold is a great way to get back into the swing of things...Congratulations on a good hunt!
