Something There
Mike had been sweeping his metal detector over the wide arc of the field when he heard its telltale beep. He started to walk around, but it continued to beep. This was unusual, so he was starting to get confused.

He was initially puzzled, although he thought that this did not mean anything more than a faulty detector. He started to give up hope of finding anything, but his instincts told him not to quit just yet.
