Patsy & I started keeping record of our ring finds 20 years ago.----Just found our 700th ring a couple of days ago (3/3).-----Pretty good for us---we're getting old & slow.

-----Getting down & back up on target recovery "ain't gettin no easier" either I'll tell yah.----We found 190,470 coins during that same 20 year time period.---Didn't keep records before that--wish we had of now.---I should have started keeping records over 47 years ago (when I first started detecting)----We still get out on hunts 2 or 3 times a week pretty much year around though----but----our past long daily hunts have shrunk to about 4 to 6 hour outings.----That's about all we're good for anymore.

--------Anyway----enjoy this great hobby people---it's the best in the world!-------When you stop & really think about it-----there are benefits/blessings to this hobby far greater than the (occasional) wonderful finds made along the way.------------Del & Patsy
