6 years of beeping, and with the exception of silver relics, and just a handful of my favorites...
It’s all gone.
I’ve either sold, recycled, donated, or tossed everything that I considered a “keeper”

I can’t justify bringing it with me to my new life.
But my new life may bring me better digs, older coins, and historically significant relics.

I’ll miss my 200 odd pounds of junk, but we are both in a better place.

For future reference, don’t bother hunting Ft. Myers, I got it all.:hello:

Absolutely nothing wrong with continuing on into a new area. In fact, with the move north, your chances with finding an area where some older artifacts (coins) can be found. Good Luck!

You kept six years of junk and weighed it?

How has your wife stayed with you this long?

Honestly Jeffy, I didn’t weigh it.... it just seemed like it could have been 200 pounds of trash, as she struggled to get the trash barrel to the curb.:laughing7:

So, what you're saying Dave is that she had had enough?

I'm not moving, I just did (2017). Maybe I should have lightened the load before the move. Probably would have saved me from renting that second U-HAUL. lol
