Elbert. I am not a doctor, but I am 74 and concerned.
My suggestion - totally isolate yourself. If you live with others, that will be hard -unless they agree also. Don’t go out for ANYTHING unless it is solitary outdoor activity. If you don’t have enough to eat or enough of your meds, arrange delivery if you can. If you can’t see if you can use drive up pharmacy and have somebody do your shopp

None of the figures I posted are “cast in bronze” the percentage of population who each bit severe symptoms may be less than experienced elsewhere, but the severity of the illness in those cases with major lung involvement is very real. There are ongoing studies of treatment of the advanced cases with at least three compounds - one new and not widely available and the other two are quinine compou

There is no mystery about what COVID-19 is. The exact DNA make up of the virus is now well documented and understood. It isn’t any form of influenza, and isn’t caused by getting a flu shot.
In the 2018-2019 flu season in the US, according to the CDC, about 35,000,000 people got it (that’s an infection rate of about 10% of the population). Of these, about 500,000 required hospitalization and ab

The part that impressed me is their paying folks for missed work - very classy. You don’t make a bundle working at HF - and for those folks every shift missed is a bill not paid.
This epidemic is going to lay bare the terrible situation which too many Americans live in - one paycheck away from poverty. That’s not politics, its economics.

Harbor Freight’s CEO and Founder on the subject of the Corona Virus...
As communities begin to feel the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19), I want to share with you the steps we’re taking at Harbor Freight Tools to help protect the health and safety of our customers and associates, which is always our top priority.
We’re closely monitoring local and national reports on the evolving impa

Hopefully this latest plague will pass without terrible cost to us all;
Many normal activities will likely be impacted and perhaps restricted.
but then there is us - solitary headphones on - interacting with no one - just doing our thing.
Great plan for avoiding a virus transmitted by touching or breathing in near discharged aerosol virus.
Metal Detecting is a great survival strategy!

I use mine most often with a bigfoot coil - needs the GB adjusted to give proper ID on high conductors. I also have a Goldfoot for it. That 2x6” (I think) coil is a razor for splitting goodies from trash.

Carl Moreland posted on the “H” forum that it mighy take 6 months for the AQ to launch. He is right - it might be 6 months, it also might be 1 month (I’m not betting on the latter). At this point Nobody knows and they won’t until the go-ahead with full-scale production is given by Tom Walsh - the CEO. Tom is a careful and meticulous guy and it’s his company - no shareholders breathing down his ne

Lots of other places to look - I KILLED at a recent planted club hunt with mine - lots of silver and tokens while ignoring these pesky Indian heads and buffalo nickels. All metal with quick cross check in discrim - a killer.

Flintsone - you are a genius - make a pull tab detector - better than anything ever sold at it - sell it for $150 and make it “accidentally” capable of finding other stuff, but don’t tell the fools who buy it - let them clean the beaches for us!!!

I assume you mean Keith Southern? - PM it to me (if you don’t have his email) and I will forward it. Otherwise, he may see it and let us know.
It would be easy enough to get some Chinese outfit to run up a bunch of them, but who knows if they would work.

Sorry - bling includes pop tops, aluminum campfire ingots, juice packs, birdshot, fishingweights.
The Impulse AQ may turn out to be as close to a “bling detector” we will get, but it isn’t here yet and it will take hundreds of hours with experienced “bling pirates” to see if it is and advancement on what we have already.

The possibilities of deception, abuse of position, and outright slander by a forum owner are very wide. They have near total control over what appears on their site, and as tabman has posted, they can mobilize via their “friends” or even create out of thin air, posts and posters to criticize their “enemies” and promise their friends.
This latitude for abuse is the flip side of the responsibili

The tinfoil hat brigade over there, led by the “G” are busy fantasizing that the coronavirus is some Chinese biowar bug run wild. This has been thoroughly debunked already. And this kind of totally evidence less fear mongering doesn’t help anybody

I have hundreds of bookmarked posts at Findmall and now they are all useless because their database contents seem to not be accessible in the new forum set-up. A great loss of our collective wit and wisdom.

I read what I believe are the 5 most trafficked US forums pretty regularly. I have often wondered how three of them who require sponsorship for dealers/manufacturers do this. I wonder more now because of a discussion over on Findmall about how MInelab is currently no longer a forum sponsor. Whites went away over there a while back.
Does anybody know how much they charge manufacturers to have a

Now that I have inundated all of you with text, here is my conclusion.
This thing will kick you know what. Early users will explore their own “turf” and develop approaches and techniques which yield extraordinary results. Just hope it’s not on you beaches!!
Or maybe it will prove to be a “damp squib” much like the TDI. In that case, i expect I will concentrate on one of my other hobbies for

The only videos released so far were done by Alexandre Tartar or LE.JAG. No one else that I know of has had a prototype without being bound by an NDA which forbids them releasing info.
As far as Tone ID at depth, first remember that in all metal, all targets return the same high tone. I will now try and explain the discrimination function and its results.
Now if the question is do the ID mo

Hey Paul, if you ever ge tired of the cost of living in CA, you can move to AZ - things are much cheaper here! Case in point, this building is next to the American Legion Post in Downtwn Phoenix where our club - Arizona Treasures Unlimited has its meetings.

No one compares with Mudpuppy. Dave Johnson once told me that he tried to get the boss - Tom Walsh - to try and hire Mud as a tech writer.
Mud once wrote this amazing post - where about halfway through it he becomes a shaggy dog at the groomers - totally surreal!

Hey TNSS. I’m pretty sure you don’t know more about it than I do - and - in the immortal words of Sgt,. Schultz in Hogan’s Heroes - “I know nothing!”
It will be ready when it is ready.

Good point Paul. I guess I saved it because I was pretty sure it would disappear, then Kemper talk here had me share it here.
Upon reflection, I doubt that I will do similar cross-posting again - we are pretty accomplished at stirring up our own mud.

I’ll tell you what RC. First of all thanks for giving me a Segway for thinking back on some stuff from the dim past.
Secondly, your question seems to be is “lying your way into wars” acceptable.
Well, I guess it depends on your notion of acceptable. My original post wasn’t about what was “acceptable” - it was about what was permissible. that is to say what kind of exposure does someone brin

Hey RC - since you seem to delight in “poking” me when you get the chance, I thought I ought to try and figure out what the heck your last comment was about and post some kind of response.
I started out by wondering if you were you old enough to be in the NZ Army when they were deployed to Viet Nam? How about when NZ forces were deployed to Saudi Arabia for Desert Storm, or perhaps for their d

Thanks Chris - I went to USAF pilot training instead of law school. Passed that OK, but doubtless would have flunked the Bar Exam.

The guy has great enthusiasm and access to some very prime sites where it seems no detectors have been. With that kind of basis, a person could make some real contributions to the collective experience and knowledge of this forum and others - and guess what he HAS!. I am talking about Keith Southern of course. In Keith’s case you need to add many years of dedicated study and experiment with many
