    An old idea , made new (sorta)...

    ...Now here's a trick that I picked up somewhere in my travels, although I'm not sure just where. I thought it was pretty cool and have done it ever since I learned of it. What I did was take a ratty pair of old sneakers (well, not TOO ratty) and painted them black. Thats right, I SPRAY PAINTED...

    A little time out...

    ...I mean I got out today! I slept late, as my sleep schedule is never straightened out from working nights. Up and down all night, sleep all morning! Needless to say, by the time I did arise, there were fifty-hunderd things that needed doing before I could go out to play - SO I got a late...

    Some cruisin today with the 1350...

    I got up early today for a little 'tecting. I say "got up early", as I'm working graveyards these days (11p-7a) :(. However, rising early, seems to be a solution to my problem of being unable to hunt during the week - just get up early on the days when the wife works late. Put on some chili or...

    Ace 250 day of failure, success and blessings...

    ...Well okay only part of a day. I had to do some errands and regular stuff first - my son got his learners permit. Now I have a personal driver anytime I wanna go anywhere :P. I also made a good sale of one of my detectors to a fellow I recently met. I actually made a little money instead of...

    Took the camera...

    ...I have never been much for cameras and pictures - but thats gonna change, thanks to guys like John-Edmonton. Here's todays foto's. This is the park I visited today. It is quite large and is on a steeply sloping hill. The blue structures at center right are the swings, which I never got far...

    The Virgin Mary and the Beer...

    Heres some goodies from a few hours with the 250. In the upper left is a Miraculaous Medal of the Virgin Mary, somehow cut cleanly in half. Also found a toy half-track, a sparkly button and a harmonica reed base. Lots of cents, dimes, four nicks and a quarter round out the coins. Heres the...

    ACE 250 1st Impressions...

    The Yeller Feller came today. I know, Im a year behind all you trend setters in getting one. I have been on a detecting hiatus for most of that time - only recently resurfacing. So, let me admit that I lag a little... I wont let it happen again:thumbup: My experience? Experienced. This is not my...

    ACE 250 coming...

    Found a "once use" 250 with all the extras including warranty card for $173.50USD on ebay so it is on its way home now. Next step will be to use it and get the larger coil for it, after the year turns. David

    GTP 1350: TO THE BEACH AND FALSING DISCUSSION

    OH be still my beating heart! you have said the magic words: "Another beach I may try is very small but normally locals go there and have for years. Again I think this beach may be over looked by most detector people because of it's size." "Pocket beaches", as I like to call them, are tops...

    JUST HADDA SHARE...

    ...even if it aint a Garrett find! Took the new Vaq out for a little woodchippin' today. I like to use this medium as a way to test out new detectors, since there are a lot of constants and the diggin is easier. I had no surprises to speak of in the operation dept - pure Tesoro. I did find...

    BATTERY LIFE and YOU...

    This was asked on another forum and I thought it was notable, worth spreading around a little. The asker wanted to know, on average how long rechargeables could be expect to last, as he was used to using them on other models. Here was the response: "In general, it is usually said that...

    Vaquero SWING SPEED

    All this talk of swing speed deserves a thread of its own. I admit that my detecting is casual and I dont worry so much as some. If I miss something, well, I'll get it next time. Or maybe another will - after all, it's a hobby. Now, I have noticed that if I swing real fast, the signal narrows...

    Vaquero chews up the GOLD today...

    Took the new Vaq out for a little woodchippin' today. I like to use this medium as a way to test out new detectors, since there are a lot of constants and the diggin is easier. I had no surprises to speak of in the operation dept - pure Tesoro. I did find that the Vaq likes to softly signal on...

    Good News about Joe Arneson...

    ... Joe is a great guy to work with. He walks the talk. I bought his Vaq with extra coil and goodies, strictly on the hearty endorsement from this group. We only emailed and I sent my money to a blind P.O. box! Trust is a good thing when so many people have it. I thank you all and especially...

    Andres Ventura is a great guy...

    He offered to make me payment plan of a hundred bucks a month on his IDX. Not many people would do that for a stranger. Andres, you are da man! David

    CZ-20 at the beach vs. My TIger Shark...

    I have been advised that my Tiger Shark will give dissapointing performance on the salt water beaches here in South Carolina. I've had it for awhile and in the fresh water lakes and ponds, it has little equal. This I know to be true. But I want a bit of fantasy with it: I want it to be a...

    C III COIL question ...Monte, you there?...

    If things go as planned, I will be getting a Classic III SL soon enough. It will go to Mr. Bill for the mods - Do NOT pass Go, DO NOT collect $200. I was wondering, though, about the coil. It is a slightly elder version - which I hear benefits the most from the Mr. Bill mods - and has the stock...

    Garrett Braggin rights...

    I was part of a discussion over on the forum where people talk about those brown machines from Arizona. Here's a tidbit on behalf of we "Green Meanies": The difference? I have taken the time to REALLY learn the Pantera. When I get a certain tone, I know what it is before I dig. I know how fast...
