Words to live by, for sure. As for your new Minelab, I just bought a Sovereign and used it on a week-long trip to Panama. My hunting buddies both used Spectrums. While we all came home with a silver coin or two, I was the only one who found any buttons--copper flats mostly, but also a nice early Naval button (Spanish or French). So far I'm very happy with my Minelab, despite it's eccentricities. Best of luck with your Musketeer. There is a Minelab forum, which would probably be very helpful for you. Let me know if you need the web address.
