Glad to see you all are still at it. Suppsed to open Sarsota County beaches to "single" use. Monday. Might be able to get back at it except the temps are low 90s with high humidity.

Glad to hear from a few of you in the last few days !!!

And I'm Happy to see this Forum is up and running . Now that i'm home all the time , I will try hard to post more stuff on this forum
.I did a ton of posts on here around 2009, and kind of disappeared for a few years off and on.

This Aluminum thread here I'm posting on started in 2011 by member OKLETSEE.  We need to start a updated 2020 new topic called  "Stainless Steel Recovery Technicians Chat Thread. In my experience Stainless steel is harder for Pulse Induction to detect than Aluminum. LOL . I think that
Metal Detecting will become Super Popular again . This Pandemic is changing the world and Treasure Hunting will become super popular again, like never before.
I hope and wish all my friends on here will stay healthy and alive during this bad time.
I did go Metal Detecting 2 weeks ago with my Discovery 3300 VLF machine on a friends acreage but only found newer pennies, but I had fun.

Best Wishes to Everyone..........................Eugene

well here it is the last of June and so much is happening in this crazy world since I last posted. Crazy people everywhere. I come to this site so I can converse with people who still have their sanity. I am not sure if I mentioned it but last December I purchased a Nokta/Makro Simplex+ detector. It is a kickass detector that only cost me $254 US. They have had two upgrades since because people wanted some added features. They did it and all for free. I love mine and have found a lot of stuff with itit. I see Whites has seized production now. Gone like Tesoro. Two great US companies.

A bad day at gold prospecting or metal detecting is better than a good day at work.

Hi Carl!  Good to hear from you again.  All is well with me and family and friends.  And you got that right about things being crazy in this world now!

I've been thinking about the U.S. detector manufacturers going out of business.  One reason is because so many people buying from overseas manufacturers rather than the U.S. companies.  But the U.S. companies are at fault for not offering machines that the users want.

Take care and stay safe, all of you!

also if you out of US, you are not able to buy from most US manufactures you have to go to the local dealer (most of the time a retail camping gear shop)
and pay very very high prices.
I used to buy from Kellyco my White's and Garrett's(more than 10 detectors over the years) it used to cost me less including postage than buying of the local agent,
Now I scan local eBay for a second hand of what I want(yes again most of the time I can't buy direct from eBay US. they don't ship metal detectors overseas)

Covid19 is a scam.   YOUR BEING HAD AMERICA.

Yes the Virus is Real.

There Are none.

Have a Good Day.

Wow! Haven't seen any posts from anyone in a long time. Can't complain I guess, because I haven't posted in a long time either. Hope everyone is ok and staying away from Covid 19. My truck finally gave out last summer with over 300,000 miles on it. Driving a beater passenger van now with 200,00 miles on it till I can get enough money to buy a better one. Just been detecting parks for coins and jewelry and no prospecting. Had to buy a new pump and hoses for my gold machine. They got stolen last year.Myself I am still fairly healthy for 76.
Hope to hear from someone soon

Good hearing from you Carl!  Everything is good here these days.  Had around 300 cases of Covid here in the county so far and about 19 deaths attributed to it...  but not me or my family.  I bought a Garrett AT Pro in October and got about 2 1/2 to 3 hours on it before the cold, rain and snow showed up here, so I haven't been out at all since then.  Looking forward to getting out some when it warms up.  At 74 I'm still healthy in my mind  until I go to the docs and they tell me different!  LOL.  Then they give me a handful of pills to take!  I still feel ok, so screw what the docs say!

Hope everyone else on here is doing okay.  Some of you guys need to check in.  We need to hear from you all!  Missed hearing from you.   Take Care, Stay well!  Thanks for checking in Carl!   Detecting
