About 20 times. Not nearly enough. I would like to double that this year.

Four times a week minimum, sometimes more. That's over 200 times a year. Man, that's a lot of batteries. Cheesy

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.

LOL, it's still a lot of batteries. Do you carry a spare set? Two spare sets? I do. All of them recharged and kept topped off. NiMh batteries tend to self discharge even though they have a greater capacity. One of my older machines, which uses a great deal of current. has not got a lead-acid gel cell battery on a belt instead of the original battery pack.

Some of us take this treasure hunting stuff seriously. I measure my finds by the kilogram these days. My finds bucket overflows regularly.
