    Funny quotes or sayings from movies.

    Confetrit, what part of Georgia.? I met Clint Eastwood in a bar in Carmel, Ca. in 1966. He might have been mayor at that time. Actually, it was more of a grin and nod for both of us. Seems like he also had a bar named "The Hogsbreath Saloon" or something similiar. I was in a Navy school in...

    Early Kerosene Tractor Pocket Watch Fob

    Isn't our history great, even though it's relatively short compared to most nations? Seems no matter where we go, detectorists find our nations past and we all relate to it. I love it.

    Early Kerosene Tractor Pocket Watch Fob

    What great finds, particularly the tractor fob. My son-in-law is from Peoria. When he married my daughter and moved to Augusta, Ga. we introduced him to grits and boiled peanuts. He had never even heard of boiled peanut. Now, I have to keep him supplied with them in the fall. He even likes grits...

    Vanquish 540 question

    Thanks guys. Makes sense to me. Now I will have to worry about something else. This is what happens when you retire with a little extra time on your hands. Do we really have time on our hands? Now that I look at that sentence it doesn't make sense.

    Vanquish 540 question

    Not sure this is the right place so: Does the Vanquish 540 have a place to ground balance? I 've looked at the on-line manual and nothing is mentioned (that I can find) about G.B. Is it fixed, automatic, et.? Any help is appreciated.

    Metal Detector Rack

    Black Crow, I like the idea of using the spikes. I dug dozens of them in the fields and woods around here. Only kept a few. I wish I had kept them all. Gen. Shermans troops pulled the spikes and made the famous "bowties" of the rails. Never found any evidence of the rails. The R.R. probably had...

    Old vs new

    Mike, I was not impressed wit the original Simplex. Been so long ago I don't remember why. I recently bought the Ultra and am really enjoying it . It's a fun machine that's very impressive for the bucks. Like all detectors I wish it was lighter.

    Why do women find metal detectorists so attractive and magnetic?

    Wow! At my age all I would have done was stare and stutter.

    Lap, what a wonderful time you must have had! Anyone of those finds would have made my day. Probably more around, maybe a little deeper?

    Church

    I go for David Jeremiah, Swindell and Kennedy. Kennedy is gone now but I still catch some of his old sermons. Stay away from those that promise you to get rich with your $1,000.00 "seed" contribution. I recently watched one preacher in an interview saying he needed a third jet so he would not...

    Simplex Ultra Headphone Question

    One thing I found was the Ultra uses a Bluetooth headphone. The orig. Simplex phones will not work. Drove me crazy until the repair center got me on the right track. I don't know what the Legend uses. Great questions though!

    Xp MI-6 pinpointer rubber tip protector

    Odan, why not use it to pry rocks? I once saw a guy use it as a hammer. What really gets me is to see someone get a signal and then dropping an expensive detector to the ground or into soupy mud. Maybe they want to appear as an "old pro" with a cruddy looking detector.

    3D printed parts and items . My son made for me . Using a prototype hinged version on my Ws6 master. Factory part had broken.

    Wonderful! I barely have enough sense to use my D2, much less make something for it. I'm still lost in the age of glowing tubes. Oh well, it is what it is.

    Weight comparison

    Relicmaster, send a few pics if you can. Sound very interesting. I bought the D2 because of the weight savings. Never looked back. I use a homemade balance weight on my other 2 detectors and naturally it adds weight but it also balances so much better. The coils don't pill down anymore. An arm...

    You tube is a bad influence!

    There are a lot of good points on old vs. new. Gets me all excited and ready to go out esp. after the crops are harvested. The hurricane Idalia messed that up. Doing corn now then peanuts and cotton last. At my age I need temps in the low(er) 80's. I really go out when the temp. gets in the 70's...
