Hi to all you thoughtful TH'rs who welcomed me into the Club.  I was out yesterday morning using my White 6000D Series Two, the detector I started with in 1980.  I'm so familiar with it that I prefer to use it over other more modern machines that I have.  However in my roaming yesterday the Mode switch button was loose and I lost it.  I'm going back and re-trace my steps hoping to find it.   It might be a real task as my eyesight has dimmed over the past couple of years.  Yesterday I did find two looneys, three quarters, four dimes, three nickles,  and 27 pennies.  The pennies were all badly corroded to the point where the dates were not readable.  I just thought I'd tell you about it.  Moosetalk.

Moosetalk here.  My old brain is chalk full of adventures, a whole lot of them dimmed by my weight of years. My earliest find was a strange type of treasure. This happened in 1934 when I was ten years old. I was  fishing in the Columbia River near Revelstoke, B.C. and was working my way downstream to where a large cottonwood tree had fallen into the water.  When I was next to the roots of that large toppled tree, to my horror I saw a very white body caught face down in the tree's branches. It was bobbing up and down in the current like a hunk of fish bait on a giant hook.  I dropped my bush cut fishing pole and ran the mile and a half to the town police station to report my find. The dead man's name was Joseph Wall.  He and four of his companions had drowned a few weeks before, north of Revelstoke when crossing the river in a cable car and the cable broke.  Wall's body was the only one ever found.

Wow! What an amazing story. I certainly hope to not find that sort of treasure.
