    2 rings in the water today!............

    just kids rings, and some other stuff, including a 1923 wheat. The real story is that I had to borrow a water machine as mine is headed to see the detector Dr. I picked it up at the post office this morning and went right to the lake. I put the batteries in, and started to assemble it when I realized that at 2 feet long it was missing the middle rod! OH NO!!!! I had 3 other machines in the van, so I was able to make it work with another shaft, but I had to fight it the whole time in the water. You can bet I will have it ready to go the next time and that will be soon!

    Nice hunting!

    My arm rest broke earlier this year( took two weeks to get a replacement,) so I rigged a strapw/ velcro. Worked well enough, but man my arm was killing me. Hope you get yours back soon.

    Good luck,
    HH.

    Great haul ya got there Mike I've got 2 water detector's myself, I was having problems with mine a couple years ago so I bought another one cause it was hot out and I just had to go water detect so in the meantime I send in the other machine and get it back with a note that said there's nothing wrong. Come to find out it was excessive emi where I was trying it. So now I have a backup water detector.

    Nice haul there Mike. It is important to have at least one back up detector as fishermen have more than one fishn' rod.
