Ok I don't have any fantastic finds to show, no technical knowledge to impart,
so here is a picture of Grubstake (R), and Pondman hunting up in Mariposa in the fall last year...these two guys are a hoot to detect with.

I think you should clean the lens, that picture makes me look fat! I only weight 198 and I'm 5'11" only have a 32 inch waist. But that picture makes me look like I'm about 250. Must be the wide angle lens. Ha! Ha! Grubstake

I think you better take over the picture dept.
Here I got Grubstake telling me he's not happy with my fat-lens, (and for the record
he's right, he's much more trim than in the picture),
and here you are with some serious gold.
lol...

Very interesting, and I do hope I never am faced
with that particular problem...
