I often feel like...Ah, Digger... thank you so much! I often feel like I missed the boat with this hobby. I try not to focus on it. When I was growing up in New York City, my mother had a friend, a fellow teacher, who owned a mid-1700s house in Western Massachusetts. His partner had a similar house just down the road. We spent many long weekends and holidays there. Now, I just think of everything under the ground that I could have searched for. I didn't even know about detectors then (this was the '70s).

I even don't mind your husband, the saint. Doug was a real metal detecting pioneer. His was the Golden Age, when all places were new to the metal detector. When I was a youngster, an optometrist/diving instructor gave scuba lessons in our pool in Coc, Grove Fl. I was 15, in 1968. At one point, I was in his home and he brought out a bag filled with old jewelry, gold cross, rings, and chains, studded with jewels, coins. It was real Spanish Treasure from galleons. Those were the Golden pioneer days in Florida for treasure hunting, only a small part of which finds were reported. If only I'd had the imagination back then that I do now. I write a couple of blogs about detecting in south florida. Though I lack your delightful poetic sensibility, the ritual is much the same. I'm a fan. Never mind Madonna, you're so much more.Diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842166440474174956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324367038678231948.post-76262888850585527032014-10-01T18:40:19.742-07:002014-10-01T18:40:19.742-07:00Enjoyed the video, felt like i was there with you!...Enjoyed the video, felt like i was there with you!
