nice D, lots of whites over this way it seems. we have one lake with a good mix of blacks

Woods and Water for me ;-)

Flying and airplanes have been a lifelong passion,but Biggest disappointment of my like was when they found a pretty severe high frequency hearing loss when I was being tested for the AF flight program when I finished college. I never got to fly the luv of my earlier years, F86 Sabre, so I had to be satisfied with Cessna 150's and 172's. Gave that up about 20 years ago and concentrated on gold nugget and meteorite hunting in AZ during vacations and bought a place near Gold Basin,AZ and spend about 3 or 4 months a year there. CW hunting,cannon projectiles,was my detecting passion from 1973 until 94 and am now getting interested again. Reading the forums and seeing what a group of very interesting people is doing is my way of 'keepin' up". Good luck to all you guys and gals.

River fishing, kayaking,deer hunting, traveling withing usa metal detecting is my fav

I was and still a little bit heavy into Pro Racing. Was ranked 37 in the US. I was challenged to a Pink Slip Race. I'm ACME racing. If any of you need help in building a car let me know. The car in this race conforms to every Scout rule.

First and foremost is spending time with family. After that, in no particular order... Motorcycle riding (scouting new detecting territory while doing so), wooden boat building, fishing, hunting, rebuilding /tinkering with mechanical things, dabbling in solar power for my shop, casting bullets and reloading ammo... among others to numerous to recollect. Metal detecting is at the top of the list behind family time.

I'm the type of guy who has to have a project or 10 going on to keep my mind from getting the best of me. I am a towboat capt by trade and gone from home more than half the year (thus the family time comment) which gives me plenty of time to research new possible projects for when I am home. At this point in my journey my grandkids (boy, 4 years old... girl, 4 months old) are my my main "project".

Ha, Rodman...pulled a half dime out of those poultry bands though, didn't I ? Oh, the bands go into the trash by the way, not collecting them.

Boy, you guys have a lot of time, after I work I'm lucky to have 2 to 3 hours to detect every 3 days, I use to do all that before I had a kid, Keith, you are right about your Kin, I lost my Mom and Dad and 2 brothers young, I learn to enjoy every day like it's my last, that why I get so pissed when some one whines about nothing, I guess I'm lucky, my Job,and taking care of my Daughter takes up most of my time, but it keeps me out of trouble, and when I get to go out and detect, I enjoy it , whether I find something good or not, it's just weird hearing how the other half lives
