Hello All!
My name is Dave Bennett and I live in Florida near Kennedy Space Center where I used to work and hope to return to soon so they can lay me off again when the Shuttle Program flies out. I have been swinging an old Garrett S-1 since my dad bought it new in 83 or 84, I was about 28 at the time and used it a lot till I got too busy to go out in the woods. Well now I have plenty of time till the next job comes along. So I dug out the old S-1 to find some parts of my Ryobi Brush Cutter that has fallen off while I was cutting some pepper trees. It took about 5 minutes to find the parts, even the tiny lock washer, the S-1 pointed it out and the neodymium magnet snapped them right up, back in business. That little exercise got me going so I went to the Garrett website to see what MD's could do now after 25 years. Wow! It lead me to this forum and all you generous and helpful folks, I am hooked, again, my Ace 250 will be here tomorrow and we will be out in the woods at an old home site I know near the railroad tracks. I have been out back swinging the S-1 and clearing out the junk in the ground, attached is a picture of what I found today, I am fifty one cents closer to paying for my new detector! That plus the major find of another car in my backyard, a nice Gold Trans Am. I wonder what I will find tomorrow with the Ace that the S-1 (or I) missed. Cant wait to hear your latest adventures and finds, it is very entertaining and interesting. Keep 'em swingin'!
