Bubba and I both were working yesterday .....

Every year our City Parks and Recreation Department has a Home and Garden Show at a local park. This year there were about 100 vendors.

We've participated in this event every year but one. In our little 10 foot "booth" we show, demo, and discuss our White's Metal Detectors as our primary feature. On the table we display a Riker case of local jewelry finds and a case of CW Relics. The one in the photo is my Brandy Station, Virginia finds.

We also display and discuss our line of solid pre-cast concrete designer mailboxes ($400 to $1,200 each), our hurricane storm protection system, and a new product .... custom made Moai's ... up to 15 feet tall ... a 2 footer is on the table wearing my Do it Best hat.

The two little boys were fascinated by the DFX demo unit we had set up for folks to pass metal by the coil. The little guys must have come by the booth 20 times, each time with some different metal they found or borrowed from mom or dad.

Although good for business, I bet Bubba had more fun selling and quality control testing of his beverage booth at the big race this weekend.

Ed, I done racked my noggin and I'm getting me a headache, what in tarnation is a Moai ????

Obviously,you had some fun with the kids and detectors: likely a couple of future customers there.Good show !

I tell the younger kids that it is magic ! I even had one clever little guy who insisted on lifting my coil up off the sand and looking at the underside; I'm sure he thought it was a vacuum cleaner. I draw a line though,at attempts to sign on as digging assistant; that is MY quarter !

... One of my customers makes them. He delivered two 15 footers to an Indian casino in Michigan. We sold a 7 footer to a customer and had another 5 footer made into a mailbox for another customer.

He carves then out of Styrofoam and then several coats of a glaze that ends up looking like and feeling like lava rock. We have one on display that has a recirculating fountain in it and another with a speaker in it for a stereo system. We sell them on consignment.
