Here's Willow being a pest while I was using my old metal detector in front of my house in Newcastle. A few years back I brought the detector to Texas to do a bit of coin hunting around the house. Due to a drought the dirt was hard packed and impossible to dig through... almost like granite. On this trip down, in mid-April, rainy weather had softened the ground so digging was VERY easy. The detector is around 35 years old but still works perfectly. Here I got a good signal... something fairly deep, and had put the unit down to get something better than a screwdriver to dig with. What I found was an old water pipe, no longer in use. On other occasions I found a brass "Bull Durham" tobacco pouch fob, several bronze Chinese coins with a square hole in the center, a copper token about the size of a quarter ("State Bar-Good for 5 cents in Trade"), and a silver colored token about the size of a nickel ("Shades Saloon-Good for 5 cents in trade"). The Chinese coins could have come from Chinese workers building the Wichita Falls & Southern Railway, the old road bed running behind my property. Before beginning my coin hunting I checked and found that the deer appeared to be off somewhere dozing or grazing. Nobody was around to bother me. When I tune the detector I set it to emit a faint, barely audible "threshold" whine... very faint. Headphones aren't used because they quickly become uncomfortable and the dangling cord is a pain to deal with. I had been working about ten minutes, with bits of metal junk causing the detector to beep or make louder hooting sounds. This caught Willow's attention. She must have been resting in the shade around the back side of the house. Something about the low whine of the machine really intrigued her. As I moved around, periodically stooping to dig shallow holes and scatter the dirt to pull out bits of metal, she'd get her nose in the hole and start acting really goofy, prancing and dancing around like a horse sometimes will in a pasture. A small spike fallow buck came over, sniffed a few places where I had been digging and began the same sort of behavior. Eventually this activity caught the attention of other deer that had been napping in the bushes over by the fish pond. A few minutes later I had to suspend my digging activity, it being nearly impossible to work a hole without being crowded by a deer, that after taking a few sniffs would start hopping and prancing around. The fresh dirt I was pulling out of a hole worked on the deer almost like catnip does with a cat. Weird... I have no explanation for this behavior.

The end of the day seems like a great time to take the metal detector out.

"Diggers" is a reality t.v. show on National Geographic channel in the U.S. and they feature this kind of metal detector for beachcombing. I looked it up and it costs in the $650 range. That's a lot of coins but maybe he'll find a diamond ring or two - who knows?

Rampant Filter Alert! (I know, I know, but I can’t escape the fact that I really like it!)
This tiny chap spent a long time on the beach looking for something good. Unbeknown to him, I found it first and didn’t have the courage to tell him.
One of MANY guys I found combing the beach for lost valuables. Before taking his picture, I asked him what the day's take was, he said:
"Well, I 'bout paid off the metal detector this week, so pretty good."
A quick Google search of the Excalibur II metal detector revealed that it was indeed a pretty good days take, for one local man's hobby. Maybe I should have dropped the camera and joined him. :p

Journey At Dawn
Just when it seems dark,
A golden glow flows over the water.
On his journey,
The man walks in the river of light,
Searching for gold under the sea,
Fishing with his metal detector,
Pausing to rest,
Maybe he notices the greatest gold
Of the moment
That appears and then passes,
Before I can walk 20 steps.
This fleeting gold is simply there.
Free for the taking,
Filling my soul with more than enough
To last a lifetime.
By Louise
All critiques very welcome. Taken on a walk with my friend at dawn, to make photographic images. I'm always looking for the light at this time of day.
My own mindfulness exercise: seeing light and shadow.
Taken on Miami Beach, South Beach, at dawn. I think this guy had a metal detector,, although it looks like he's fishing also. He just happened to walk right into the golden stream of light. A different vertical shot below, so that you can see more of the story, but I think I like this version best. I was mesmerized by the golden water, surrounded by darkness. Cropped version below also. This one I posted first certainly violates the rule of thirds, and yet I like it better, I think.
At larger size, this doesn't work. My camera does not take make great low light images. Now I can't wait to get a better camera. I'm probably going to get either the new Sony Nex 7 when it comes out in Nov., or the Nex 5n-- I have a shopping/looking trip to B & H photo planned next week-end hopefully, when I'll be in NYC for another reason. Hope I can squeeze it. Still checking out the Nikon D5100 also, but the light weight Nex cameras are very appealing.

Metal Detecting finds from the Syracuse, NY area.
Found using a Fisher CZ-7 metal detector.

North of the pier, with Southport Pleasureland as backdrop,.
I had a few ideas for yellow, and one quite surprisingly "yellow in unusual context" shot too, but sadly that was taken in December 2011. So, instead, here's a shot from the Thames Path near Hammersmith Bridge showing a brightly yellow house. Hoping to get my camera back from the doctor's this week, wuhoo - happy birthday to me :)
As well as houses decorated aggressively brightly for the northern Europe, and aggressively paddling boaters, there's a chap metal detecting on the shoreline. And, yellow house seems to be for sale! Anyone interested?
Will try and catch up with you soon.
This is for theme #50 - "Yellow" of the group "112 pictures in 2012".

Manly beach at sunrise may be full of early risers getting in a swim before work or the hot day kicks in but it is also easy to find a lot of empty space where landscaped and peace prevail.
Givati soldier and Palestinian kid doing high five, unfortunatelly you will not see pictures like that very often in occupied Palestine. Most of the times israeli soldiers are really harsh for Palestinians, even for kids. Most of the times they check their IDs for a long time even if there is no need to do so. Very often they check school bags and everything what you have with you... just to make life harder. Official reason - security measures.
Place: Checkpoint 56 (Shuhada St. entrance), Hebron, Palestine.
Mosley walks the beach every day with his metal detector. He has found all kinds of little trinkets and a little money. On this day, he was surprised to discover a large area that was signaling. During low tide, Mosley had 25 friends help him dig, and, what a find! A Maserati MC12. Unfortunately, high tide came in before they could move the car and Mosley was never able to locate it again.
The above story is fictitious. Mosley doesn't own a metal detector.
Aptos, California 2012
On 22nd Sep. 2013, heavy clashes took place across Hebron (clashes started on 20th Sep. and lasted seven days), leading to the injury and arrest of numerous Palestinians as well as the death of an Israeli soldier. As part of Sukkot celebrations, the street outside checkpoint 56 leading to Yatta was closed by Israeli military and border police. The army announced by military order that all shops on the street would have be closed and cars would have to be moved between 11am and 3pm, to ensure safe passage for settlers and Jewish visitors for a pilgrimage to the cave of Otniel ben Knaz, located on said road (what was clear provocation). Crowds of Palestinians, internationals and journalists gathered to witness and protest against this breaking of the Hebron agreement, signed in 1997 between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli government and dividing the city into zones H1 and H2 under PA and Israeli military control respectively. The road to Yatta falls under Palestinian Authority control and is therefore illegal for Israelis to access. The clashes in Bab Al-Zawiyeh began around 11.30 am when Palestinian youths began to throw stones at the invading Israeli army and border police. The occupation forces responded with tear gas canisters, stunt grenades and plastic-coated steel bullets. Live ammunition was eventually used against resisting protestors and there are reports of several Palestinian men being treated for gunshot wounds.
