Metal Detector’s Blog

I am an avid camper and hunter who has always loved to get into the outdoors and enjoy.

My son and I were planning on hiking to the top of Walker mountain and hunt ” high ridges” for two weeks. We set up camp and the first frosty morning we set up our hunt area and a beautiful white tail came within range of my son….then it happened. He raised the rifle and flipped the scope gaurds up and everything fell apart…..screws that were very tiny…bands…rings..everything. The rifle was not sighted in for iron sights.

We looked for hours through the leaves and dirt but all was lost. I remembered that I had a metal detector in the truck from searching Amelia county for relics and we decided it was worth a try. We hiked back down the mountain laughing about ” Murphys Law” and climbed back up in enough time to get some rest. Long story short we found all of the parts and the hunt was on…we did OK in the hunt but the metal detector saved the whole experience.
