And now you are feeling veeeeery sorry for U self LOL I bid on a wireless head set on Bid or Buy for R61.00, the idea is to incorporate the TX in my detector. As I always seem to get caught in wires I thought it a good idea to have a wireless head set for the places that are too noisy Like next to a river or even on the beach. Did some work on the coil for the detector and things are looking up but I still need to get the right transistors for it before I can scream success. You do realize that you are going to be stuck indoors for the next few months don't you? so why not take this opportunity to write that detecting book you were bragging about?

Sounds like something I would do buddy Angry

Well no detecting for me either as the fields were too snowed in No no!

anyway the good news is that the snow is now melting and it is going to warm up again.... the bad news is that rain is also coming which means soggy fields Funny
