  1. Doc you touched on a sensitive subject for me.

    JB's Ouncer Club πŸŽ―πŸ‘Œ

    When I 1st heard mentioned many years ago It left an impression on me I can't explain.

    There was nothing more important in my life after learning about it.

    A College Or Special Ed Diploma, Meeting the President, Dinner with a Celebrity, nothing was more important.

    I had to Achieve it, it became an obsession to me. Someone could spend the rest of their life trying to detect an ounce or larger nugget and fail completely odds were against it.

    I spent years at it and Dam if I didn't Trip the Switch and Beat the odds one day. And By more than double a 2.49 Oz piece.

    Looked like Vampire Fangs coming down both sides of it hence the photo in mouth πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

    It was the Vampire Nugget of the Ouncer Club πŸ‘πŸ‘Œ

    And with multiple witnesses hunting along side me at the time πŸ‘

    It was more important to me than any education certificates could be.Β 

    Another Creation of J.B. it turned me into a Gold Monster and Loving every minute of it all thru the years !

    I think I've had every hobby, interest, and Vice and Detecting for Nuggets is the Finest one of ALL. πŸ‘‘πŸ‘

  2. I met John when I first moved to AZ.Β  2006.

    I was at that outing that was mentioned earlier when John had steaks for all. John had a Beautiful personality in my opinion, he could make me laugh without even trying πŸ‘‘.

    Little true story here,... John called me one day asked if I could do him a favor, he was tied up and couldn't get away to meet someone and guide them on a Meteorite Hunt.

    Absolutely I said, well the party got in touch with me and we made arrangements to meet up at the Entrance to Gold Basin.

    Turns out I spent 3-4 days with this person and his Lady friend I made some sandwiches and sides each day and brought a cooler with drinks for us all as they were camped out in a tent up in Meadview.

    We became friends and had an enjoyable few days together.

    Turns out that I was guiding  and entertaining Max McCoy and his girlfriend. Max is a Professor at Emporia University in Kansas and was an Author of Indiana Jones Novels amount other books 😱 Surprised the hell outta me at the time !

    When he returned home to Kansas he sent me a package with some autographed novels and wrote a letter of appreciation to me.

    A Great experience and lifelong memory for me which would never have happened without Mr. John Blennert πŸ‘‘πŸ‘.Β  R.I.P. John proud to be able to call you a friend throughout these years in Arizona 🀝🀠

  3. Something we ALL tend to forget.

    We are dealing with "Electronics Industry"

    And what's the Golden Rule that all consumers of Electronics have had to live with since day one of modern manufacturing and sales ! ???

    Your Electronic gadget whatever it may be "cameras, detectors, blenders, etc.

    Will be obsolete by the time you finish paying for it πŸ‘πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£So,...... Thank goodness we have had the opportunity to buy/own some of these ol relics of the detecting world.

    I know I've always loved the 3500 & 4500 models with aftermkts. Coils. They've done everything I ever wanted or expected for me as far as performance. I owned multiple models of each.

    "Electronics" spelled backwards is "What's New Today" πŸ‘

  4. Had me a "Polarized" Ranger XP sxs. It developed some intermittent ⚑ electrical problem. Upset me 1st because I bought a Polaris because they are supposed to be built for Military Reliability standard.

    2nd because this ol crow don't do flat tires or Breakdowns πŸ™„.

    Therefore next up for a SxS will be a new Honda fer sure !

    I'll give one of them a chance to perform flawlessly for me before any other venture in ATV/UTV manufacturers.πŸ‘βš‘πŸŽ―πŸ§
