Short test hunt of the Land Star

[GoGoGopher]

Well, got out for a bit today with the Land Star...Just got it back from First Texas where they replaced the battery clips, battery door, full face plate, and the DISC knob (at no charge again)...It was still falsing a LOT with the 8" coil...4" coil was not so noisy...Got home and checked the batteries and found them to be down to 8.4 Volts, and 8.2 Volts...Not sure at what voltage the detector becomes unstable, but will try again this weekend with fully charged NiMh batteries (9.12 Volts each)...Here is my take before I gave up and had to go home...

large object is Lead slag, anyone know what the tree thingy might be? It has 3 tabs on the back that might have been for mounting on something...????

Those lead blobs as common. I think they are left over from plumbing work. I have found several.

yeah maybe from saudering, in shop class we were saudering lead and a circuit boar together and the left over lead cooled down and formed a blob exactly like that so maybe if they were saudering pipes together thats what that would be from, melt it down again with a saudering iron and if it remelts youll know its sauder if it catches on fire.. well, run.

Hey...was looking through older posts as I am new to this forum. The tree looked familiar (has a t-shirt with it one once upon a time). I think it is the logo from Timberland (boots, clothing and such). I attached a sample of the logo and the pic of the tree.

[attachment 142108 timber.jpg] Is that it?

Nice finds, not bad!

Yup...it is a Timberland logo...Have no idea what it might have come off of though...prolly boots.

HH,
