| It was a lot of fun. It was a perfect example of what makes metal detecting so exciting. I first uncovered a small 2" section of the chain and called over the rest of the crew. We knew we had a good find but at that point your imagination just runs wild.
Trying to determine which direction the chain runs, how big it might be and if there is more than just a chain all gets things pumped. Slowly you pry away at the frozen ground and as more chain is exposed the excitement grows. When the big solid part started to show things really got exciting. We then knew it did indeed have something besides the chain.
Once it was recovered and all the ooh's and ah's had finished, thoughts turned to the poor sole who had lost it.
