Winter Time Blues
Here I set at my desk contemplating the cold weather and wondering just where I could go and do some metal detecting. The reason I am not out there is that number one I can’t decide where to go and number two it is cold outside and I am nearly 70 years old. Old people don’t like cold weather. In order to overcome this I need a place that is promising enough to be worth getting cold over. Right now I haven’t a clue. I sit in here and read about other peoples finds on the forum and wonder how they brave the cold. Especially when I read a post from someone in Michigan. It reminds me of a time many years ago when I used to hunt all winter long. Even when the ground was too hard to dig. I had a metal detecting partner back then who was just as crazy as I am. If I had a partner to coax me along I would go today. Sometimes being retired is just lonely. Ha ha this article reminds me of a character in a “Louis Lamour” book. This character was a woman and she was alone on her ranch out in the West somewhere. She would write notes about how lonely she was and tie them to a tumbleweed bush on a windy day and let them go. O I am not saying that I am lonely. I have a good wife and some of her children keep us company here too. I’m just sayin’ that for a minute there this note reminded me of her. All I’m sayin’ is that I don’t have a metal detecting partner and if I did he would have to be persuasive enough to get me to go out in the cold. In the meantime I sit in here, read the forums and dream of finding that “double eagle” and cheer on the guys on “Oak Island”. Keep the post coming guys and galls. I read them up pretty quick. I live in Alamance County North Carolina if any one is interested in metal detecting together.
