Some habits never die

This past week, my dad came over to visit and brought some items from memory lane. As we spent time looking through old photos, one in particular caught my eye. It was a pic was me with my very first metal detector when I was about 11 or 12 years old. I remember the Radioshack purchase had an analog meter on it with a needle that would bounce back and forth. There was a knob for power/ volume control and maybe another for sensitivity but that was it. I ventured out with my dad to one of the local fairgrounds properties used for parking. I got something around a dollar in clad and some misc. metal items. The main thing I do remember was unearthing part of a very large sheet of aluminum. It was too big to even attempt to pull out! That is the one experience that left the biggest impression on me. Interesting to see how things have changed in about 24years. Did not take much to pull me back in and I am glad I did.

Some habits never die, they just hibernate.
