"Keep Digging Its Down There Somewhere" Treasure Hunting, Gold and Coins.

Howdy folks...
sorry for not replying sooner, been having difficulty getting this site to load..
tonight is the first time i've been able to get back to the site since my initial posts.

i live in north east texas, 100 miles east of dallas, near lake o'the pines,
in the mountains of NETex...
right now, we've got a few inches of snow on the ground, was down to 16 degrees
last night, woke up to a frozen water pipe.not exacttly a good start to the day!
my next door neighbor is a OTR trucker, he & his wife are out on the road right now,
i  had to go over to his house and check for frozen pipes  & shut the water off at the
meter, just in case any pipes were frozen.
went to try to find the meter but was covered with snow and impossible to see.
kicked snow around for a while with out any results, so I thought.....

why not try the detector to see if i can find it..

eureka!!!!!!!!!!!!!

worked like a charm, walked back to the house, got the little 150
went back next door & had the meter found in 4 or 5 minutes.

not sure if this counts as a "treasure", but it certainly was a "find".

yes, it was worthwhile, the neighbor's just bought the house last spring
and have been doing a total remodel, also had new plumbing & pipes(copper)
so if it saved his pipes, wonderful.  going to be as cold again tonight, so
i will certainly have my faucets dripping.
i had the 150 set on coins, since i was looking for a bronze valve, figured
that the copper in the bronze would show up like pennies, and was amazed
that it worked...

Very true, I'm certain most of my neighbors would have no problem with my detecting on their land.
matter of fact, was going to speak with the neighbor about doing so. his piece of property was split off
of our farmstead some years back, the original house for our farmstead was on his property. it was demolished by the previous owners the first year we lived here, but we know exactly where the house was, so yes, when the snow does
evetually melt and they give permission, we'll take a walk over and see if we can discover anything.
used to be a one room school house about 1/4 mile down the road, torn down in the 50's(?) i'd like to check out, but need to talk with a neighbor that grew up in the neighborhood to get the location, and make sure my permission to be on the property is still in effect.  also the remnants of an old dog trot house is up the hill from us and i'd like to check it out.
