Yadkinville, NC favorite knife lost – now found
Received message from Tim a resident of Yadkin county whom described while moving hay bales on his farm he lost his pocket knife that has been with him for many years prior to retirement from the Highway Patrol. It held sentimental value to him. Even though he was unsure of where it actually dropped I told him I would do my best to locate it.
Having contacted me on Sunday I was unfortunately not able to immediately assist but promised I would load my equipment and would drop by on way home from my office on Monday.
Monday arrived and I had another request for assistance a few miles from the farm so plan was to assist both before dark fell. Upon successful recovery of the first item (diamond necklace) I quickly relocated to Tim’s farm finding him mowing. He asked if I wanted to delay because darkness was approaching and I replied « lets find it ». Tim described the events and location he believed he dropped the knife.
We walked and searched approximately 30 minutes and as sun was setting I explained that I often search in late afternoons and I have had luck in parks finding things around sunset. Something about the dark gives me favor. Sure enough as we were walking towards our vehicles and swinging my detector in last ditch efforts my detector sounds off. Although under moonlight I could see the outline of a knife. I asked Tim, « remember what I said earlier about finding stuffs in the dark? There it is! » He didn’t believe me until I picked it up and placed into his hand. 🙂
Thank you Tim for your years of dedicated service to the citizens of North Carolina. I cannot wait to return and detect your farm and see what all those mysterious signals are that we stumbled across.

Tonight was great for me. First time of two assignments / searches on the same day. Two for two successful finds in less than 4 total hours. It cannot get any better than that. I love my hobby and even more get a kick out of the smiles resulting from the recovery and returning personal treasures to their owners.
