    Explain your avatar

    I know some of your avatars have obvious meanings or significance, but some do not. I have used several...my current one is of a sunrise in Galveston I took a while back. I love hunting at sunrise...nothing better. Some others I've used are finds, some are funny (or, at least what I consider funny ) and some I just like the pic and what it reminds me of. What does your avatar mean to you?

    My avatar is a photo from a CW relic hunt I went on with my father. Going hunting with him is one of the greatest treasures this hobby has to offer.

    Re: Explain your avatar

    I chose mine when the first of those silly Geico commercials hit the tube, as I thought it funny. I tried to change it, but was attacked in the following ways: Gypsy put a curse on me (I don't want to get into the details), Mona threatened me with bodily harm, PBK wrote me a scalding swear filled hate mail (which was eloquently written I might add), Ashleen broke up with me, Hoss challenged me to a duel, Marc initiated legal action, JeffofPA threatened to ban me, Nana explained that she was crying uncontrollably, SWR pelted my house with yams, and Mojjax stole my dog (realistically its probably better off with him anyway). It was only Montana Jim that had the sense to bribe me, so $8 later my avatar remains (thanks again Jim).
    At least that's the way I remember it.

    Scary clown face, Pennywise. SK fan. Wish there was more to it, but there's not.
    We all know there's no such thing as a "hunted out" location.  Let's stop using that phrase to describe a park out of which you just dug a pile of coins!  Obviously that particular place wasn't "hunted out", right?

    Mastereagle is just a combination of streets where I have owned homes. Twenty two was because when I set up my TNet account that was how many coins I had found. The two detectors are my favorite machine right now the Explorer II and the Deleon.

    The name 'Fossil Hunter' was taken, so I opted for 'Fossis'.
    I started with a 'wood carving' of a mountain man, then changed to the mountains & valleys where I enjoy my pastime.

    Taken by my wife in Nov. 1983 on the Lolo trail (Lewis & Clark Rt.) Bitterroot range Idaho. We snowshoed in and trapped Marten for a month out of a makeshift camp. Our biggest adventure.

    Mine is a photo of me playing around in the jail at old Fort Jackson in Savannah, Ga. a couple years ago. I change avatars every once in a while though, depending on my mood.

    "What," an inquiring young mind demanded, "is that weird looking white thing above the initials in your avatar?"

    It's the nib (point) of a fountain pen.

    I chose it because I'm a heel-dragging Luddite who still prefers paper and ink to computers— and because I'm an editor.

    Re: Explain your avatar

    I'm sure all of you all know I'm a Christian... so there's the screen name "God is Number 1 (in my life)"....
    The avatar I had before was me down in Arequipa, Peru this past Summer on a Missions Trip.
    I just changed my avatar a few days ago I think. I made a bunch of them on some Yahoo thing, based on my different personalities.
    I made the one I have now look like an Explorer because he looks like me and it probably shows my personality the best.
    Oh, and I've always wanted a red-tailed hawk as a pet... along with a wolf.

    Rom. 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

    Rom. 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
