Family Photo Day

[tab-nabit]

A little sore from the detecting and panning yesterday, so instead of another go at it today, I figure everybody should get a little cleaned up. And since the weather was nice, maybe a family photo before everyone had to go in.
I know I know, but most are Tesoro and didn't want anyone feel bad.
What they don't know, is I'm going to give a few the boot sooner or later. Maybe invite a few new pals this year to add.
Only problem is I don't know who all is getting the boot and who will I invite this year. Have a few machines I want to add but haven't decided yet. Easier said than done.
But I think its obvious that Tesoro is welcome in my home. They even have a room for themselves

Thanks for the family pics, Tab-nabit.

I've never seen many of the detectors mentioned in various forums, and threads, except for sales ads.
Only been in a MD store once, over 15yrs ago, and it wasn't very big.

It would be informative if someone could organize a sticky, to be placed at the head of the various forums, with at least a couple good photos of each of the different models produced by a manufacturer. No reviews, just phots & id, maybe year?

Anyone else think that might be a valuable addition?

Looks like I've got an only son but I do get to spend a lot of time with him.

A large family makes a man Happy and you sure do have a nice one.

Anxious to see what you will be trading out.

How did you get them to all smile at the same time.

Nice arsonal Tab. Mine's gonna grow some later when I get some

paypal built up. that money has been kept seperate form the family

budget so far.

" How did you get them to all smile at the same time."

Do you think they are all smiling?
Don't these two seem to resemble a frown in a way?

"Looks like I've got an only son but I do get to spend a lot of time with him."
Actually you'll know that one well instead trying to keep track a hand full.

"A large family makes a man Happy and you sure do have a nice one."
Happy some days - feel like someone is missing other days.

"Anxious to see what you will be trading out."
Only the best behaved get to stay - the ones that don't measure up better watch out for the boot.

I think it would be a good idea not only on the machines, but for the displays on the TID machines, and the coils side by side.
Someone good with a camera could help many I would think. HH

I gave each one a bath by hand - actually baby wipes. So they better sit still for a photo moment before they go play and get all dirty again

Nice collection!! I am getting ready to add to my collection alsut of all the Tesoro model's which is your favorite for coins and jewelry or which one do you usually grab I should say?---Kurt

 

[tab-nabit]

For relic, the Tejon is usually my first grab. It served me well on my first relic hunt and I have liked it since.
For other than relic, anything goes. I like them all, so a lot of times, it depends on just what I feel like swinging.

I have enough technical stuff to work out at work, so I'm not to technical when it comes to detectors. I'm out to have fun and that's what counts to me.
Some machines gets more depth than others, or recover faster than others, etc. I just don't do any actual measured comparison on paper, just have a general knowledge to able to detect and dig, mainly have fun.

They last so long, it's hard to keep track of.

I can't.

HH,

The machines that use AA cells, I use NiMH rechargeables.
The other's, I just swing and go.
Never bothered to time usage - also use headphones which take less drive power than the stock speaker.
I'm satisfied with the time on everything I guess because if I was replacing batteries on a machine often enough to be thinking this is ripping me off in batteries, I would be concerned. Since I'm not concerned, everything must be reasonable. For AA equipment, NiMH because I have too many this in this house that use them. Without the rechargeable AA batteries, I would really be concerned as we use so many.

Always use headphones - never swing without them errrrrr never detect without them.
