I was just checking out your Dealership website looking at the used machines and noticed that you guys are rated certified Experts and Triple Star Dealers by the Metal Detector Council of America. I figured they were some sort of kin to the FMDAC and went to check them out. I did a search but found nothing MD related <img src="/metal/html/shrug.gif" border=0 width=37 height=15 alt=":shrug"> Please post a link to their website. I would like to check out what their all about and what they do for our hobby, what kind of events or relic hunts they might sponsor for members, etc, etc I might want to join them. Congrats on your excellent standing with them! Good luck in the rain today and search for that button with "Mike's" name on it!
 
Mike...
The Metal Detector Council of America has amongst it's membership some of the top treasure hunters in the world. You would recognize some of the high profile names. They bestow the Expert Triple Platinum Dealer award on detector dealerships that have shown the highest degrees of knowledge, integrity, and that has contributed generously to their continuing search for treasure. As their treasure searches and finds are some of the largest in the world, they choose to remain anonomous. I respect their wishes and cannot disclose how to get in touch with them. We are very proud of this honor they have bestowed upon us and can only hope to continue to deserve such honors in the future.
This rare achievement was announced right at the time that our Ten Year Tesoro Gold Dealer statement was questioned. You see MagnumPi has been a Gold Star Tesoro Dealer almost every year since that award has been around. A couple years back Magnum decided to go to New Guinea to help the pygmies. He very generously spent a year trying to give something back for all the success he has had in life. When he got back from his tour of duty he discoverd that he had missed becoming a Tesoro Gold Star dealer for that year. Getting this terrible news and basicly having his whole life turned upside down..he just went into a depression. Luckily right at the time other dealerships were pointing out our mistake on the website...The Metal Detector Council of America honored Magnum's dealership with the Expert Triple Platinum award. This have definitely turned Magnum's life around. He has quit drinking and is now back with his family. Thanks so much to The Metal Detector Council Of America for turning another life around.
Glad you asked

In the years you were offline I had forgotten how enjoyable your unique brand of BS really was. I for one am happy to see you online again <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">. By the way, when you were involved with the GPR thing a few years ago I directed a couple of folks who thought they needed that kind of service your way. Are you still iinvolved with that or do you now devote most of your time to stirring up the forums<img src="http://images.boardhost.com/emoticons/tongue.gif">?

In other words, that honor you guys bestowed upon yourselves and 50 cents will buy a cup of joe <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
 
If he tells you it's raining outside, he's probably peeing on your leg. Don't believe ANYTHING that spews out of this guys mouth. It will be 99.99% pure crapola.
True Southerners don't lie like this guy does,most have honor and integrity but not the Mayor. If he tells you he's going to call you about a hunt ( don't hold your breath either). He belongs to a small little clique over on the treasure site where a local saint rules over his kingdom. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
Just funnin ya Mayor

JB...
I did a job for a couple of detectives up in North Mississippi a few years back. We were looking for a boys body that had been thrown down a well. We actually located the well..and then all the fun started. I still do the Ground Penetrating Radar work.
Dan Patterson and I located a pile of Confederate shells with the radar over in Mississippi. Both of those stories require at least three tall adult beverages to tell.
Was that you that sent those detectives to me? That was one of the most interesting jobs I have done. We did it as a freebie for the family with them just paying the expenses. As several local prominent people were involved in the murder and disposal of the body we had to stay in another town. We would try to keep as low a profile as possible while we were there. Real cloak and dagger kinda stuff. We actually located the well that the body was in...but the land owner...who was a suspect...dug a huge lake right where we marked the well...before they could get an order to excavate. The boys mother just wanted to bury her son...I felt so bad for her after it was all over. Those detectives had donated their time for years trying to help that family out. They were not discouraged and were still going to work the case.
Thanks JB for sending me whoever you did. Send some more...I like doing the radar work.

Mike...
I could go on for hours....
I am shocked that you say our award and 50 cents would get you a cup of coffee. At Starbucks it would take about $3.00...and The Metal Detector Council Of America award. How dare you say this much deserved award is worth so little... <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=";)">

Mr. Mike
I have just lifted my pore ole head up off my death bed and you want to talk about me like that? Only thing I got left working is this internet connection. Phones shut off. LeeAnn is washing clothes in the river. Pore kids are studying their lessons by candle light.
Is all you can think of is going metal detecting??
(I think I have heard an ex-wife or two say that before!!)
Hey...we gonna get up a hunt. Didn't go last weekend. Gotta get up a hunt that I don't have to blindfold you to take ya to the site. We have got a great spot that I might be able to check on this weekend. Need to know that we can get accesss. E-mail me your phone number again so we can stay in touch. My cell phone number is 251-458-2032. Have your machine call my machine..
See ya
The Mayor
 
Wouldn't swear that's the same case but I would bet it was. A young man had been killed, at least he had disappeared and his parents thought he had been. Since that's the only case like that I'm aware of in north MS during that time that almost certainly was the one. I know they had a lot of problems with the law enforcement folks about the case and spent a lot of money on private detectives, they even contacted the America's Most Wanted tv show people. They came down to see about filming a show about it but the sheriff headed that off. You're right about the prominent people. Several elected officials, at least two lawyers and more than one judge were/are "alleged" to be involved. The other was an old lost cemetery, or at least some of the grave locations had been lost. The cemetery was somewhere in Alabama, forget exactly where they said it was but I want to think it was in the southern part of the state. A friend who lives over there told whoever it was looking for the cemetery to call me as I had metal detectors and might find what they were looking for. I gave them your name and number, never knew if they contacted you or not.

JB...
Please accept my sincere thanks for sending those guys to me. That was one of lifes great adventures. They did tell me that the Sheriff of the town was involved. I really got to like those two guys. It really gave me insight into how a detective works. I don't think I ever made a dime on it...but I would go back again this weekend if they called. That was a handsome young man that had been missing for a very long time. I know I found him but the rest is history now. I can only hope that family will get their answer one day. They did find the carpet he was murdered on and the crowbar used to kill him in a well in the front yard. We know we found an older well in the backyard. That well was gone when we got back up there for the second trip. The site had been excavated down to a depth of about twenty feet deep.
I have done a ton of cemetery work. I was doing jobs for The Sons of Confederate Veterans for several years. We located at least five hundred lost graves of Confederate soldiers during that time. We were featured on news stories across the nation at that time. I also did all that work for free. Gotta at least find some work that pays for the gas.
I have radared lots of family cemeteries. The oldest graves I have located in this country were early Spanish graves in Florida.
We went to England at one point with a film crew and located a 2000 year old Viking that was buried with all of his silver possesions. The guys who brought us over got $250.000.00 US for the silver they found.
We got a free trip to England.
I could go on all night...Sorry for getting so windy...thanks again JB.

Can't find the time now, I've burnt the road up all week long in pursuit of buying a house along the Tennessee/Alabama border. I already have my house in Pensacola sold and have to vacate around mid Febuary.
I'll be at the NS Hunt in March teamed up with one of the BEST relic hunters that's ever dug a hole in mother earth (IMO). I'll be bringing my Tejon a Vaquero and maybe my Nautilus too.
By the way, I lived in and hunted Louisianna for many many years and rest assured took more than a few relics home. My mothers side of the family owns several hundred acres in various places there. Beware .. They SHOOT tresspassers and feed them to the gators <img src="/metal/html/grin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":grin">
See Ya at the Dance .. bring some cheekin

Remind me never to ask you a hard one like where do the 'not so hot' C's & V's go?? My coffee come's from Mac's 24 & 7 Breakfast diner. Breakfast of Agony...3 eggs, numerous sausage lings or Bacon, two toasts with butter, jelly, honey and the bottomless coffee mug...a buck ninety nine minus tip. Or just the bottomless mug...50cents. I usually go for the Agony.
But back to the Metal Detector Council Of America. Since the place is an invention of your mind, why put the banner and Frill up on your Detector website? I took it seriously and I suppose other potential customers might also. If you and your partner take turns being Prez and Vice prez & then switch positions on each other...that's cool, just say so. I was actually just asking a simple question and spectin' a real answer and a website. I wanted to check it out. You don't happen to accept membership fees for them, do ya <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">

John...
I believe you got me beat on getting throwed off forums... <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=";)"> I'm only off the Troy forum right now. I didn't ever even post a message over there. I got banned by long distance!!!
Mike asked where does the detectors go that we reject. We just shipped back four detectors. They went back to the distributor who sent them back to the factory for readjustment. We sent back one the was unacceptable. Three were sent back because we are only selling the units with the new tone. These were old tone units and we just wanted to swap them out.
I'm tired of answering Mike's questions ..So I decided to talk to you. Hope you are doing well.
Have you decided to apply to be a PROFESSIONAL DETECTORIST yet. Let me know if you need an application. Feb. 15th is the deadline.
See ya
The Mayor
 
Can I get a discount on that membership Mayor??? <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> Guvner..
 
As you well know the original club of famous detectorists was and is the (S)ociety for (T)ejon (O)wners (O)r (L)overs, or more lovingly known as S.T.O.O.L. The fee for maintaining your classification and status in this club is only $400 which is paid in two $200 payments semi-annually. Members who excel and truly live for The STOOL, may be invited to free hunts up to several times a year to celebrate their STOOL achievements and/or as a direct reward for REALLY spreading the STOOL's message. Another predominant activity of the members is to constantly check and explore the STOOL status of suspected non-Tejon owners or lovers. One can expect this probing to occur by a group of the inner sanctum or an occasional new member of the fold trying to improve his status within the STOOL. Of course the powers that be assures us all that this drilling is done good naturedly, so even if it seems to cause some discomfort, just remember that it's good for The STOOL and what's good for the STOOL is good for the hobby according to the Society's leader. So you see Ronnie, the Professional Detectorist certification that you refer to is just obviously re-wrapped STOOL. Have a good day. <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=";)">

We are promoting an exclusive association. The PROFESSIONAL DETECTORIST certification is recogized worldwide by the <STRONG>S</STRONG>ociety for <STRONG>H</STRONG>elping <STRONG>I</STRONG>ndividuals using any <STRONG>T</STRONG>esoro detector. No STOOL members need apply. We will only consider individuals that want to be certified using any modern Tesoro detector. Do not be confused. This is not the STOOL association....this is the one that is recognized by _ _ _ _ society.
