I have a X-70 but no 5x10 for it. But I have a GP 3000 and a 5x10 mono for that. I do want to get one, along with both a 10.5 MF & HF DD.
Both of you guys live in Michigan. When I was I kid we visited friends there where they lived near a small freshwater lake and a snapping turtle chomped on and bit my finger at the lake, hahaha. A story I will never forget!
And Bob is from Illinois and Randy is from Iowa. I am in Alberta, Canada and I absolutely hate cold weather, I am here totally against my will and NOT by choice. I am right now watching a TV program show about Austin, Texas. One of the top 10 places to live in the USA. Like the lady said, mild winters here are a plus. What I am getting at is I have often said to myself and to my mother that if I was a US citizen I would NEVER EVER live in a northern state because there are so many, many choices to live in the southern part of the USA for mild short winters like Austin-San Antonio, Texas, and Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico(even the very north part), southern Colorado, Arizona, California, Willmington-NC, Charleston-SC, Savannah-GA, Mobile-AL, Jackson-MS, Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and on....Canada has nothing-zip, zero, every square inch of this country is cold in the winter even Victoria and Osoyoos, BC. You people do not realize how lucky you are and I would trade for US citizenship any day. So would you want to and could you guys could you see yourself moving south to Austin or New Mexico, etc. for mild short winters and metal detecting(and barbequing outside) all year long?? I sure could!!!!!! Absolutely!!!!
