March 20, 2010 Day One

Greetings from the UK. We were picked up in London this morning and taken to Colchester and the home where we are staying. We tossed the luggage in our room, put together detectors and unpacked full rain gear and boots, and ate a quick sandwich. Our host picked us up and we were out in the field by 1pm. We hunted until 6 tonight in one field that was planted in cabbage. Thank heaven for the crops to protect us just a little from all the mud.

At the end of our first half day, all in all, it was a good day which started a little iffy. I had equipment problems, all will be corrected by tomorrow. My pinpointer had no battery and I lost the nut for my arm cuff within the first hour. Clarence took the nut off his and rigged up something for his detector with the spare rubber bands in my rain cost pocket. Next time, I check all machines for batteries before we head to the field.

I know there are a lot of people reading this blog who have no knowledge of detecting and some of the equipment I might write about. I will try to keep this non technical and use plain English. Tomorrow is be another day.
