We had planned on taking an extended detecting trip back to the mid-west, starting about June 12. That's my old stomping grounds-I'm from NE originally. But have you seen the weather they are having & predicted to have?? NOT GOOD! I've seen some real loosies when we lived back there--wind & hail BIG TIME. We may just take a shorter length detecting trip out here in this general area for now-haven't decided completely yet. Del
