funny find --using my new quickdraw II -

having detected in the past i know that its important to know your machines sounds and such --so when I got my new quickdraw II today I took it out back to play with it--chucked a penny down turn the machine on and waved over it---the machine went nuts --good strong sound but was reading 6-8" deep on the meter--I thought what the hey? after several waves with the same results-- I took the peny up and waved again --- aha still a strong signel at 6-8"--so off to digging I go--at 6-8 in there it was ---a long brass type water nozzle--I though an ok but not great find--took it inside and cleaned it up and guess what it still works perfectly!!!--it could use a new rubber seal where the hose screws into the nozzle but other than that good as new---talked to the wife shes says she doesn't like the fire hose nozzle type and only uses the pistol grip type--since she bought the house in 1986 the nozzle had to be in the ground 20+ years-(it has a nice tone to now)--they sell these new at the hardware store for about $6.00 or so---I guess in a way I found $6 bucks on my first swing with my new machine--- maybe not such a bad fine after all--heck if you found $6 worth of clad with your first swing of a new machine you would be happy wouldn't you?
 
I found an old brass one like my grandparents had. I thought it would be nice to use one for old time sake and too save a few bucks :yikes: well my wife got squirted in the face one too many times by the old thing and figured I'd never hear the end of it so gave her what she wanted... a pistol grip one. :)

but now what do I do with my good $6 nozzle --maybe a door prize at the next monthly MD 'er club-- that will work--since the wife doesn't like the fire hose type nozzle--
