  1. Welcome to the crew David ! Nice display without a doubt ! I used to live out on Elm Hill Pk just across 40 from the airport and later down in Brentwood. Good dirt to dig in Davidson County ......
  2. Welcome aboard Mike. You're in ! Let your questions begin .πŸ₯Έ
  3. There is a perfectly good use for those yellow pull tabs. Did you find anything GOOD ? Yep , gold rings ! πŸ‘
  4. I take digging pull tabs as a challenge ! Like making down payments on that eventual gold find....😜 OK , on the walk back to the rig I've been known to skip 'em too.πŸ™„
  5. You sure know how to make an entrance deathray ! Nice haul ! Good yer son is still on the team too ...
  6. I'm also not familiar with your historical coinage but I see great conditions on more than one ! Photography is excellent ! The USA tag is a curiosity , again in great condition. Maybe attached to a duffle bag or other personal item ?
  7. Nice finds post , the yellow part was not too shabby at all ! Do you recommend this forum as part of that training class ?πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ That one needs to post here. 😏
  8. That thing is too cool Doc ! It should make your order picking life way better.πŸ‘ New warehouse is a good sign of success ! πŸ––
  9. Mickey : I forgot to say. Only one post ? Don't be shy . You're allowed all the questions you want ! (We all ,,,,,well VL also wants to know if Minnie is still hot ! LOL ) Lurking is OK but it will be more fun if you join in with comments ! I also have a question from the 80s for you. πŸ€” Are you the "Mickey Mickey , you're so fine . You're so fine it blows my mind ! Hey Mickey , hey Mickey." Mickey ? (Inquiring minds kinda stuff) Except here we hopefully will be commenting about Mickey's finds .
  10. As usual .....another good haul ! 37 merc is a nice one ! Spoons are well represented today. The ? #1 key fob/whatzit on the left below the dimes is interesting. Looks like a scared ghost.πŸ™ƒ
  11. We'll call you the streak, fastest thing on two feet ! LOL If you want to do this , then do it ! We can't tell you if you'll like it , just tell you what to expect or not expect. It sounds like your head is in the right place on expectations and that's a plus.. You'll probably never find a better group to learn from than right here. Mind blowing experienced expertise and newbs learning the ropes along side you . πŸ‘ If all you want to do is try, get a cheapo detector . I've seen many at Goodwill for under $25 They ALL go beep when the coil is over metal.😏 The better ones give you more information or go deeper .So ,If you feel like jumping in at the deep end , we sure can help with that too. . The classifieds here is another good place to keep an eye on. Have you thought about what you can afford as to budgeting for these new toys if you decide to jump in ? Top end rigs go into the 1000s but a nice starter set up could be $200-500 usd. And if you're lucky it will pay for itself or more .....πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈarrrrrrrrrr ! That's the best place to start , after you read here for a while ,,,,you'll know which is best for YOU ! OH , STEVE'S GUIDES ! It's all there , straight from our fearless leader . Learning what your detector is telling you and researching likely good spots along with liberal doses of patience are the best path forward.
  12. Great haul , again ! The beach that keeps on giving...🀩
  13. Mt T has a beach somewhere. Probably hires someone to follow him around watching for drops .πŸ™„
  14. WOW toad ! You hit it out of the park ! 🀯 I bet you could find that stone with one of those long range detetectors ! That looks like the clam flats uptah camp . Your description of what it was like even matched ! Some diggers just kneel down and spread the weight out more . But we've never lost one to the mud. As far as we know.. So, how heavy did your boots get ?πŸ₯Έ ( if you tried VL's snowshoes you wouldn't have been able to get the 3 steps Ronnie used to sing about every night ... ) . Was there a beach too? Lots of space without prints , you going back ?😎
  15. Yeah , just wasn't thinking which machine I was on....I'll go stand in the corner for an hour , and I won't put my hands in my pockets.πŸ™„ Thx for posting the app. πŸ‘ Can I find your fields with it ?🀩
  16. Yeah , just updated my post above. The chromebook was the issue . Phone is OK . I will get to delete 2 other apps Gaia and OSM .
  17. I got a message that it's not available on Google Play Store....😩 ON THIS DEVICE ! DUH. I'll try using the phone instead of my even more useless now , chromebook ! GOT IT !
  18. Welcome streak ! Tell us more . Where are these beaches over which you will swing which detector ? Not there yet ? Plenty of help here just ask about what puzzles you . Might already be one of us in the area !
  19. Welcome masslawman. Pull yer chair up to the fire . Huge amount of already posted goodness to read ! More daily . Steve's Guides is a good place to start.. Ask yer questions as they come up.
  20. Ya know , I did that when I had a ruptured disc w/sciatic ! Not prescribed , I just kept trying things....
  21. Ok Joe , I'm on my way ! Florida is a big sand dune , very little altitude change. Nowhere to go to escape when it gets hot except for air conditioning. Even the ocean is warm ... Besides . One big wave over say 40' and everybody will be swimming in the gulf ! Yes , I know the joy πŸ™„of off season many places that have been on my itinerary over 45 years . I even got paid to do most of that scouting around. Most places have a good season , if not choose carefully LOL The beaches there in FL aren't so bad though , no Spanish fleet wrecks off our beaches at all (or IS there?), are you on the gulf side ? The older I get , the less I like the cold but inversely can tolerate the heat more . Death Valley was a piece of cake ! I left when it was 115 in may but this time of year it might not make it to 50. I'm now off the road here 15 years to take care of mom and restore this old home on wheels. In the meantime my mechanic retired on me and replacing him is turning out to be fahgeddaboutit . I've lost count of how many were gonna "do it by the end of the week ", trouble is what week ? Hope to get back on the road before next year's cold . At least one more trip. If I don't , it will be no worse than this year...maaaaybe. I can heat the rig to 90+ degrees no matter how cold it gets outside too. Living at the fair is an interesting contrast to being on the road 300 days a year doing shows for sure. But a HUGE amount of less stress , and they gave me permission to detect the whole place . I have been researching if any treasure was lost around here and even found a place with real promise just off the coast. ! It's called Oak Island arrrrrrrrrrrrrr Skuh kuh kuh kuh kuh .
