I guess so. There was also some kind of distribution company compound not far into the woods to the left of the hotel and another big compound with trucks and stuff off to the right, then there was all the posted stuff, so there really wasn't all that much to hunt. But what was there we pounded to death. So in the end we hit a couple of spots we'd been to before and at least managed 5 wheaties and a 1950 Rosie, so the day wasn't a total bust. But I sure would like to dig one of those $6000 breast plates. When are you going to take us THERE?

Thanks Stan. I've heard that the Explorer's are "unweildy", but if I get a "SwingyThingy" I should be ok.

They are the lightest or the best balanced machines out there, but I can still swing mine all day with no problem. I've never tried a Swingy Thingy but they sound like a fine idea. The Explorer II's are more rigid in the shaft as far as the mounting to the coil, the upper and lower shaft locks, and the housing fit. So they aren't "rubbery" feeling like the older models, so I believe they are less tiring to swing.
