I started out with a failed first owner and a very hard time in Wisconsin and had great hopes when I found my new owner over the Internet some five years ago. I was hesitant to go as this was a cyber match up, and well really, the east coast of Canada so far away. You just don't know if you will be used the way you want to be used.
I must not lie the first year was tough and he tried so hard to listen to me but he just did not under stand what I was saying to him. Oh don't get me wrong we had some good times but some times he would dig a hole 8 inches deep and then he would get frustrated and just fill it in. Even with a fresh battery he could not pin point the problem.
There were times when I caught him on the Internet looking for another detector to meet his so called needs. Visions of my Wisconsin years brought me to the threshold, and it seemed that I would never be ground balanced. We needed outside help.
He thought that a 5.75 coil would make our problems go away but when we went to get one he ended up with and Garrett Pinpointer Pro.
I was skeptical but our first time out all together was amazing and now we are inseparable. Gone are the days off holes dug and no recovery and now I get good vibes from our black companion. PinPointer pro was light in the hole our troubled relationship.
On our second anniversary he surprised me with a 10x5 DD elliptical with an eight foot cable. Wow need I say more.
It has been five years and now he wants to hunt on bad ground but I am not threatened as I am still 2.2 lbs and no one can take that from me.
All I want is for him to be happy on bad salty soil, is that to much to ask even if it means for him leaning a new language.
