It's always nice to hear about you, other then you swing an ACE, GTI, GTP, AT Pro, water machine , gold machine etc. Sometimes what you do or did for a living can be a real asset to some issues on the forum. And, it would just be interesting to see the broad spectrum of careers which may have triggered a desire to metal detect.

I am recently retired this year and I have been a soldier, lumberjack, mainframe-computer technician, avionics technician and certified counselor with a focus on community counseling with a special interest in end-of-life issues. Whew!

I have a general interest in all things metal detecting, but focus on coin shooting, gold-nugget hunting, and beach hunting when I can get to a lake or ocean. I have a Garrett Sea Hunter II that I press into all-around duty. I am a ham radio operator as well and I like to combine both activities if I can.

Finally, I also promote home defense ensured by superior firepower.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi to all, especially those who have an intractable case of gold fever like I do! Good luck to all you folks. ~HR]]> HotRock Garrett Users ForumThu, 24 Jan 2013 11:17:21 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?32,1620814,1846268#msg-1846268 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?32,1620814,1846268#msg-1846268 chuck, ky Garrett Users ForumTue, 22 Jan 2013 19:16:14 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?32,1620814,1845994#msg-1845994 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?32,1620814,1845994#msg-1845994The Pet Ranch in Olathe, KS and then a metal detecting and prospecting supply shop in Overland Park, KS called High Plains Prospectors.

I drove a tractor. I have pushed, hauled, dumped, dug and loaded dirt for almost 50 years.That's mega tons of dirt, and mostly in and around Los Angeles.
Since I have started MDing nine months ago , I wonder how many silver coins I have dug up and pushed around. About 20 years ago while digging, I found my one and only coin while operating heavy equipment. I was about 2 feet deep, and I spotted a round circle in the dirt. So I climbed off the Cat Tractor, and picked it up. It was a V nickel. Coins back then didn't mean much to me, and now I have no idea where that coin is. I am retired now, and nine months ago, traded my fishing rod for a MD. When I was a kid, I had a paper route, and my customers would pay me mostly in change. I can still remember, all those Liberty Walking, and Ben Franklin half dollars, and Standing Liberty quarters, and Mercury Dimes, and wheat pennies, and I even remember seeing steel pennies. I am 67 yo, and luckily in good shape, and not working, so I can, and often do, get out and MD. So far, I have found one silver quarter, 8 silver dimes, one war nickel, maybe 50 wheat pennies, two gold rings, 12 or 15 silver rings, and ten thousand chuck e cheese tokens. Well, maybe not that many?]]> hsshunter Garrett Users ForumFri, 28 Dec 2012 08:32:10 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?32,1620814,1830108#msg-1830108 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?32,1620814,1830108#msg-1830108Drafting, Electronics Schematics
