Aluminum Recovery Technicians Chat Thread

Hi Eugene, no offense taken!  I locked the thread and then I check in and find another page has been added....no less than by our favorite mods themselves!  Ha!   

I think part of what happened was it was WINTER and none of us had anything to do but hang out here in chit chat and everything else. I certainly don't have the time to be indoors any more.   What if we opened up a thread called the Coffee Shop in chit chat so everyone could stop by with their cup of coffee or tea and leave a random thought or respond to someone else's.  No reference to a special group or having to join anything.  Just a Coffee Shop for metal Detectorists.  It is not fool proof because it will go on forever in randomness, but it would satisfy the need to just drop by and say hi to everyone.  A moderator could pluck any important stuff out and put it where it belonged so that only casual fellowship and randomness remained.   What to you guys think?  Start over fresh.  Sorry Seldom, this doesn't solve the issue you talked about, but dang-it, some times I just want to come here and say hi to you guys...I don't have anything important to say.  Just an idea.  You all decide.  I closed the thread.  That was my only solution.  I'll come around later to see what's up.

Seldom: Right.  I think I knew you wouldn't go for it.  But what I had for lunch is allowed in "chit chat and everything else".  And if my lunch set badly with me, I can complain about it in "a shoulder to cry on".  If my lunch changed my life, I can write about it in the religion section.  I'm trying to come up with something that would be more inclusive and easier to regulate.  Its human nature to converse with those you associate with.   So I'm guessing you wouldn't want to moderate that thread?  Just kidding, don't be upset.  You actually have a good point, if that were the way it was.  But as long as banter is allowed, it is allowed.  So Seldom votes no.  Who else?

Go ahead you about to be on the outside looking in anyway.

The chit chat and sub boards are for regular to discuss things of interest Okletsee you have never been a member you have 390 post 320 of them are in this thread you have never been involved in any treasure discussion in this forum your only interest is to cause trouble.
You do what you want but this is not a chat room and you will not do anymore damage here. Let this thread die and go talk treasure on the treasure boards or move on to facebook

	A new title?  How about GOLD RECOVERY TECHNICIAN.  That's what I'm talkin 'bout. Here is a pic of my first hot rock find while I was out detecting for gold.  It sent my Goldbug to Whackyville, but now I know how to read the signal after brushing up in my owner's manual. Posted on: June 23, 2011, 05:49:11 PM As I predicted, the ART thread has gone to sleep and will soon slip into a coma.  I fear the end is near.  Don't worry, we won't let it suffer.  It shall feel no pain in the end.  I will simply wait until it is asleep for several days and then I will lock it forever.  Farewell, silly old friend.

Hello Gents,

I've been away for awhile and tried to catch up on this thread, but it's kid of tough to do & I didn't know if it was locked or not, so I pulled
out a Magic key I found on the beach detecting & tried it in the lock & walla, the door opened!  

Anyway, just hope you all have been well and that everyones been getting along okay.  

Have a great summer T'Hunting!  

Jimmy

Hello faithful members and fellow ART detectorist at large!

I've been down under the SEA for so long, I had to surface for a breath of fresh AIR and recently found a treasure chest full of golden KEYS, so wanted to try one of Davie Jones keys and hey it worked and turned the tumbler and opened the door...

How you Aluminum Recovery Technicians doing these days?

Cheers and hope to see you guys all back here posting whats new,  

Jim

The ART thread is now open again & back in business!

Lets start this off on a good positive note, one that has to do with treasure hunting and or what finds you've made this Summer with your detector, and what research you've done to find any new Aluminum Crash sites?

I had an early find in upstate NY, right in Fulton County in our historical Colonial & Civil War ship out encampment areas, and found it with the Fisher 1266X after about 1.5 hrs of swinging and digging some unusual signals that turned out being iron-based slag from early wood & coal stoves. The find was an early "Civil War Token" that dates to 1863 and is in very nice uncorroded condition which was protected from the type of dirt was in the area and the lack of moisture from being protected naturally from the areas geography. The signal from the (Fisher 1266X) was a rounded positive and buzzing broken but repeatable signal, kind of weird as its usually not mixed like that and tends to be iron mixed, so I dug it and made the find which no doubt has some nice bronze content from the color and texture of the Token...(The camera is messed up, but I will post pics of this token shortly as a new camera is en route)

So far, that has been my earliest Coin/token find, and I was thrilled to dig it!


Welcome back guys, and thanks Christian! 
Jim
