I'm in the "Golden Corner" of Upstate, South Carolina. I have an Ace 350 which I really like. It's the best I could afford to start my hobby, and it's lived up to it's "standard". I hope one day to afford something a little more advanced, but I'm having almost too much fun now.
I was part owner and worked as a mechanic of a 24hr. Road Service for almost 20 years, retired from that in 1995. I've been a musician All my life.
My wife and I started a Gospel group called "Promised Land" in 1992. In 1995, I retired from the road service and we started singing/ministering full-time.
So far, it's been 21 years on the road with "Promised Land".... and still going strong. We sing all over the U.S. We've recorded and released 13 full-length recording projects since 1993.
Nice to meet Ya'll... I'm blessed to get to sometimes metal detect in the various states and places we sing. I only wish I could do it more. If your in or near South Carolina, holler at me.

[Mick in Dubbo]

I thought that I'd posted here. Anyway, I work in a sheep abattoir. been there for 22 years. changing jobs in the new year. I had a few jobs before that in the country town that I currently reside, but they seemed to disappear after a short period. Just prior to moving to Dubbo. I used to be a postman around the Sydney CBD
Will be looking at part time work in the new year as well as look into setting up a new venture that will hopefully get me back to the coast again, not to mention, some real choice detecting spots.

http://www.realaction.ca/realdeal.htm, check it out if you have a moment. I'm working my way to being a paid employee there, with having been off work for 2 years now, was waiting on the surgery I just had 3 weeks ago. I have a son that writes computer program (his own and sells it), my daughter is in banking. I love metal detecting, researching history and getting the facts, a very cool cat that thinks he owns me and try to play with classic cars a bit. Here's a couple that I have right now to work on. Cheers.
