Exciting news for me and our Hobby

[scubadetector]

I have a booth at the Cobo Hall boat show in Detroit for 8 days. I will be displaying a couple of my WW1 practice bombs, the Lewis machine gun magazine and a few other of my finds. I also made a sandbox were kids can use one of my CZ-20's and find a coin each. So far I have almost 300 coins most of them buffalo nickles and I am waiting for more to arrive. I just finished the sand box yesterday.



The CZ-20 will stay on the posts and they will use the headphones and the detector. I have a bunch of shells I will be putting in the sand and a few other finishing touches after I get it there.

This picture is just before the finishing touches. I will hopefully post pictures of my booth right after I get it set up.

Fisher is sending me a few parts to make my machine look as much like new as it can and I have a lot of other interesting things to show in a showcase. I named my booth Beneath the Waves.

I will have dive flags on display and signs on what they mean. HOPEFULLY boaters will LOOK and I will get the message across to some that I do NOT want to become propeller bait.

Sounds great, wish I was closer to come and see it.

Looks and sounds like a great project.

You are a fine ambassador to the hobby Robert, great ideas for the show. Wish I lived closer.

Make sure you throw in a couple of pulltabs for realism.

H'mm, i see this as a 'double edged sword'.
Guess its great to get people exposed to and experience metal detecting.

On the other hand, now there's the potential for more people to get into the hobby which means more competition out there.
