Idk.... What to do... Lol.

If you can find out what brand and model the detector is I can give ya the skinny on it.

Those pesky laws ruining our fun. I WANT A REFUND!!

Sorry about that......I wonder how many detectors have been confiscated.....

I'll try to find out, running out of time since I work many hours before Sat morning. This weekend can't come fast enough, and yet, I wish I had another week to finish all my projects before the hang.

Hello Rick, That is sweet, please tell her I said Hi....

I was told by a USFS rep that he'd rather we use metal T posts for signage than post hole diggers and a 4x4. The former is a piece of cake. The latter could very well mean an archaeologist has to observe even if it's not a known historic site.

Metal detecting rules are silly..... They protect what's in the ground, for themselves.

On my way out the door right now. ETA: 4:00 PM. See you all there!

We will miss you this weekend Sunny, but we won't stop bugging you to come out sometime or other. Hang in there and we will see you soon!

To everyone else attending the Buck Lake gathering, I wish you all a safe trip, and hoping a great time will be had by all.

I had spoken with Terri and was planning to attend, then this morning I woke up with the pre gout symtoms. So I called her and said I would not be able to make it.

This said, I have decided to sell the gear I bought as I just dont think my health is conducive to outdoor camping. In 2010 I bought alot of new gear and have only used it a total of 5 nights since that time.

Gumbo (Terri) has the list and what I am wanting out of it.

Again, please be safe on the road and have great memories to take home.

Sunny

I believe Skunkape said on the other thread, to go to Walmart and get a blue pad. It's in the sports/camping sec and they are inexpensive. $5-6 or so. That's what I used last year down to 28.
