    where were you

    Where were you? You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news on Sept 11th 2001. Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man that called His wife to say "goodbye". I held His fingers steady as He dialed. I gave Him the peace to say " Honey...

    Fisher/First Texas products pass the beach test with flying colors

    Just spent ten days in Maine visiting my stepson and His family, so of course I had to take some detectors. Being landlocked in the Southern Colorado mountains I very seldom have an opportunity to use a water machine so buying a beach machine for this one trip was not a viable option. I have...

    Finished my third trip yesterday to a small ( 1blk x 1/2 blk ) town park that they have torn out. The sod and underlying soil ( ie: rocks ) has been scraped off and hauled away, on the average of 6 to 9 inches removed. It is a total trash pit with pull tabs, cans, rusty bolts old horseshoes bits...

    Relearned an old lesson for a spring tune up

    I hunted a well hunted small town park today and didn't get a single signal in the gravel covered tot-lot. Moved into the grass right next to the playground because experience has shown me that often if the tot-lot is being picked clean by a local md'er, they are usually to lazy or unskilled to...

    Attitude, Attitude, Attitude!

    This is a finds report but it seemed more appropriate here than in to-days finds forum. It is not so much about what I found in the ground but more about what I found in my head. Work has kept me from hunting as much as I would like and as much as did last year, so I was pleased when work took...

    Big silver makes big grin!

    Got a chance to hunt a big sledding hill on top of the Continental divide today. What a blast! The dirt is real loose and full of mole tunnels and gopher dens so things tend to sink real fast. Only found 25 coins all clad but one, but it was a bucket list first! A BEN FRANKLIN HALF!!! 1952 in...
