    Because of the whole experience and graciousness in the time spent with you and Daisy, Chigg would say he did win.

    Update on my grandson for you since you have not heard from him in email. He now has this past week been combating a staff infection in the leg. Stitches came out and leg wound has reopened. So back at doctors as I write, to be retreated and stitched again. CDC says we have a huge problem with staff, now I believe it wholeheartedly. All we can come up with is that it left with him from hospital. He has been nowhere and I am diligent about all things that can spread infection/staff. Camp is coming up and it's not looking good now. He will be in touch and he thinks of you daily. We'll have a marathon of all he's missed since this began. I promised we would watch together as usual, so I just had to watch this one, so I could let you know after all :)

      I am happy for anybody who finds something good. If they continuously do well, then I watch and learn. One thing for sure, Aquachigger is awesome with a metal detector and can dig a hole faster than a honey badger. Don't bet against him in any detecting shootout. ;-)

    Cool video, I did good at the Beaver walking around for an hour the other day with just my cheap pin pointer. I found 8 or 9 pieces with silver in about an hour. All of em on the surface, just checked em with the pin pointer. I also got a 5" diamomd blade for my angle grinder so I can hack em in half.. it cant slice well because its only as steady as the hand that holds it, but I can cut rocks in half and see whats in em :)

    another great specimen haha..by the way i had my first decent metal detecting find on the shores of lake eerie the other day. probably my 3rd time out.. at first glance it looked like a penny, but when i took it back and cleaned it up it wasn't a penny at all. It was a silver coin from Egypt, unfortunately cant see the year but somewhere from 1936-1952. i missed so many targets tho cause i couldn't hear my pinpointer with the rolling waves, so definitely need to invest in a pointer like yours. Keep the videos coming, you will be at 10k subscribers in no time

    I used to live in Sudbury. We moved there back in the 60's. Inco was in site and black hills everywhere. The fishing used to be awesome. :) No not a bad rock at all. I call it a success

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  5 років тому +1

      I had a summer job in Calgary when I was at University. When it was time to come home, all of the flights were booked, so I took a bus to Toronto. It pulled into Sudbury at about midnight and was put out of service until the morning (for cleaning). I didn't want to get a motel, so climbed one of those huge slag heaps and went to sleep on top of it until the sun rose.

      Funny how those bus stations lock you out,,, to this very day. Trip To Kamloops B.C. left me outside till 6 am @ the Vancouver Bus/train..Terminal. Now, Greyhound is being canceled to distant destinations in BC. Smells like a deteriorating Biz.

    • @meMiner

      Two years ago, I was mostly using a Minelab GPX5000 and my backup detector Fisher F75. I have not used the GPX at all this year.

      No way she would wear one. I can spray her belly with repellent, although she hates and does not understand it. Funny dog, she can be in the rain or river all day long, but hates when I spray her. She is the same way with a hose spraying water.

    Tip: when you are digging a hole on a hill .... toss what you remove from the hole DOWNSLOPE!!! That way it won’t roll back into your hole and fill it up!
