Typical of X, and you think I am mad... at least I did not keep the beers in the fridge Teach

That new version of pin-pointer is just not right... No no!

in fact it is quit shocking if you ask me Funny

Arfie, you must have a great trip Great

stay safe and take your detector with Welcome

Sorry that X is letting you down, now you see what I go though... the truth always shines through Sunny

Those finds of X are also nice, love the buckles.... you need to use electrolysis and then a coating of wax for preservation. The bullet cases I clean them and spray with a clear lacquer Clapp

To what I have found out... those pegs are for nailing fencing wire to trees etc quick and easy to erect a fence for holding the horses.... Kiss

Hi Peter, I'm back. Went to Alaska to the Klondike gold rush Trail to do a little exploring with the old M.D. Unfortunately the US and Canadian authorities wouldn't let me get within 40 miles of the trail with the M.D. . Oh Well! We still had a good time and saw lots of beautiful views. Rode the narrow gauge train that was built to carry the miners to the Klondike. Did a little hunting around the town of Ketchikan didn't come up with anything but budweiser caps.

I see everything is normal in sunny S.A., You still bugging x about the Mythical pinpointer, X juggling sheep, and building M.D. and everything else. I see you had a good day at the Boer War site on the 10th of May. Nice Brooch. and strange ring. These are two items you don't see every day. Cool

Hi Gambol,

Welcome back to the world of the living Great

sounds like you had a great time? Beautiful country.... Kiss

I thought a person could go there and do a bit of mining, umm guess I was wrong No no!

That water looks great, but also looks freezing cold Shame

glad that you had a great time. Is that a photo of you would the good wife?

That mythical pin-pointer became reality Cheesy

but I was only allowed to test it out for Sunday afternoon, probably has some secret circuits in that box which I am not allowed to see Police

it did work well though once I got the hang of it Great

so mythology has now turned into reality

Those finds were pretty special, they are my first jewelry finds so was very happy with them Kiss

unfortunately X had to work on getting his detector working so lost a lot of time detecting Idiot

but in the end, he did find some stuff as you can see in his photo's Rider

I am sure that you have noticed the abuse that X and his buddies are giving me Shocked

so I am glad that you are back as I need some backing on this topic Funny

Oh, you poor thing. Such a shame.

Looks like we should rename this topic to "beat up Peter!"

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Damn if only you knew how much I want to beat him up from time to time. Now do you see why I want to make a special pin-pointer for him with the electrodes. Shocking I tell you the way he caries-on Grin

Hey guys

check out my project that I have been working on.... a light ring for macro photography Great

needs a little work to perfect it, but it is mainly to put a 12 volt battery instead of a 9 volt battery. Oh ad just in case you are wondering.... the 9 volt battery belongs to X Grin

he borrowed it to me for the pin-pointer and I forgot to give it back Touch

it works great Great

You could even place a voltage regulator on it so as to be able to control the amount of light that you need or you could use PWM to control the intensity of the light. Nice one mate where did you get the LED lights ripped it off a car hey.

LED light strip cost R70 at a spares shop Great

not worried about the brightness, as the more brighter the better... will get a rechargeable 12 volt battery tomorrow Great

I was also thinking about the pin-pointer Idea

why not make the box that it can clip onto the detectors stem with a long wire probe Idea

that would be great as then you keep it with the detector like your one, just a thought Shocked
