Back at ya, Keith. You're a credit to the hobby, and the knowledge you share is extensive.

As someone who very much appreciates your detector reviews, I'm sure glad you get a hankering to use pretty much every new machine that comes out!

Cheers to ya!

Same to you Keith! I'm mostly a Lurker but I always look forward to your posts very informative, thought -provoking and interesting. Cheers to you!

If you don’t dig it, then how are you going to know what you’re missing!
How can you have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat!

Thanks to you too for your limitless information of detectors past and present!

Keith, nice post. Tom has created the most informative detecting site on the net and your ongoing tests on so many detectors are a constant source of information which I and many others enjoy and look forward to. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this site. You are a big part of what makes it what it is.

Thanks for all the great info here Keith. You are sort of a "Grandpa" regarding detecting to many of us here, and I don't mean age wise ;-)

Man, I'd love to get out of Germany for a few weeks, but I need coins not relics. eheheehh, someday soon I hope.

Sharing really has helped to take things further,
Albert

Best source for honest opinions on the net.

Keith thanks for all the never ending educational detecting you do to share with us, one of the best in my book!

I think we all agree Keith that you are a major contributor to this great forum. Your studies and reviews of all things detecting and history is priceless. You sir, are a monarch and ambassador to this hobby.

This is a great forum and you are a major part of it. You sure do keep us abreast of new detectors. Thank you! HH jim tn

Keith, what goes around , comes around, you are one of the nices people one the forums

This is a great forum, and Keith I agree with all the others when they said how fortunate we are to have you around, you are a wealth of knowledge and an all around great guy. Thanks to the Tom and the forum, and also thanks to Keith and the rest of all you fine members of the forum.

Hey Keith, you my friend are so very generous, and so helpful. I feel very fortunate to know you here. Thanks for all you do, Steve

Keith.....you have costed me a great deal of money. But I LOVE ya for it!!!! I have never been disappointed after buying a unit after reading your reports and watching your vids. You can be relied on. That is a vastly HUGE quality!!!! I am always watching for new posts from you. Keith.....you have taught me a GREAT deal. I mean.....a LARGE percentage. And Tom Dankowski has also taught me a huge amount!!!!! As well as all of the regulars here. I don't wann take anything away from anyone here. No...not at all. Most everyone contributes good info and WITH A GOOD HEART!!!!!! But this is a Keith Southern thread and I am focusing on Keith Southern and his humongous contribution to this FINE sport. By the way....I'm back in. I'll start with an AT Pro with extra coil.....(yes....my fifth one of these but whose counting.......I guess I am...lol)
THANKS KEITH SOUTHERN!!!!! It has been MY pleasure to become acquainted with you sir!!!!! And I mean every word of this from the very bottom of my heart....to the tip top. Keep on keeping on.

This forum is a wonderful example of both quality over quantity, ie many places have lots more posts, but no place has better ones (IMHO) AND it is a reflection of the class of the heart and soul of NASA Tom. His priorities and dedication to the furthering of MDing and unwavering integrity to not bow to marketing pressures from any company, but say it like it is- letting the chips fall straight down without any drift have made this the BEST place for those who really care for MDing and want to better their skills and knowledge.
Oh I know there are many, many others who contribute (Keith not the least!) and they ARE the forum, but it is the big guy who is at the center of it! Again just MHO.
