Welcome to the site John and Doug!! Look around Cedar Park while you are looking. I heard there was a town under Travis? And some huge catfish.

By the way, go to the new member intros and say hi!
Are we going to get to keep our Mods? We are kinda used to their idiosyncrasies by now!

I will work on a new member post here in a bit, still working on some back end stuff here for the site

Definitely some big Catfish in Travis and a great local fishing community that's 99% catch and release which keeps it fun for everyone.

We hope that every mod will stick around... anyone who wants to stay we'll have em!

I just had a thought,,, bet there are some finds around Hippy Hollow! No pockets you know. But I went there once and found out it is a lot scarier place in person! Not my cup of tea. loloololol

Ahah you know about hippy hollow huh. Yah I cringe when driving my boat past that place I'll look elsewhere... where there are... ahem, less "distractions"

 

Amazon Forum Fav 👍

Are the Mod's still all the same :P
Before Christmas I spoke to Gary Brun, webmaster for The UK Finds Data Base, he said he was willing to clone his site for Treasure Net, so that you could have your own data base of finds, for the US.

All still the same Though we have added a couple of people here from the shop.

That would be awesome. If you could PM me his contact information I'd be happy to contact him and see if we can work something out.

Yes I will get you his contact details, I'm using a new computer and don't have all my contacts from my old one yet, so might take a couple of days

Yep, I had not lived there very long and the rumors were exaggerated, to say the least. Heck I think somebody must have lied to me even! It must have changed ownership in the 70s!

 

[Chug And Red]

Hi Red here, welcome to THE best site online about treasure! Thank you for taking care of our issue with our problem, it's good to know that it will go quickly through now, as we like to surprise random people with memberships, just because. We have lost count of how many we have done, and want to keep doing it!
I have a small request, please bring back spell check, there are alot of people here who need it for one reason or another!
I just got my first machine yesterday, so now Chug isn't the only one to find stuff and dig, I get to now!!!!! Our first hunt will be at the beach, so I can learn how to dig holes properly, and how to swing my machine while using my cane for balance, wish me luck! Oh, and I think Chug likes mine better than his, mine tells me how deep the target is, and he can hear 2 different tones!!! Oh, did I forget to mention he is hearing impaired, and is also tone deaf!
Anyway, again, welcome, we hope to see frequent posts on what you find!!!!! Red

Ps, thanks for letting us know about the sale, it's nice to know now what was rumored before, and explains the problems going on!

We haven't removed spell check so can you let me know how it worked before? May be something that broke during the move that we are unaware of.

Sounds like you are going to have a blast finding stuff with Chug and it's nice to see a couple work so closely together in a great hobby!

At the bottom where you press to send, there was another you that said spellcheck. I've been going out with Chug on my good days, he would detect and I used the pinpointer, and did some digging, once he had the plug dug. I always wanted my own machine, and yesterday I got mine, on our anniversary too!!!! We have been married for 17 years, and have never had a fight, cross my heart! There is no need for it if you take a breath, walk away, cool down and then talk, works everytime! Red

Welcome as new owners. I don't post any pictures because I don't give up my copyrights to them as they could be used in my manuscript for my books and any articles I write. The rules state you own all published posts, etc. which we could use in other publications.

 

[mosemeister]

Congratulations, John and Doug! I wish you the best. TreasureNet is a great site, and the people are nice, and also very helpful. I dropped by to get info on some marbles that I have. You can find out just about anything in "topics". Once again, congratulations, and welcome!

 

[P.B. and Dylan]

Hi John and Doug,

I'm really sorry Marc had to sell. He did an incredible job with Treasure Net.

Sounds like you guy's understand that and plan to maintain the integrity of the site. I'm really happy to hear that.

Best of luck,
Paul

P.S. Best of luck for Marc also, this site was a godsend when I started out and continues to teach and inspire me to this day...Thanks Marc.

[Jason in Enid]

Welcome to the new overlords!!! LOL.

I can't wait for the change to VB software. This site has been in need of a serious upgrade for a long time.

 

[Woodland Detectors]

Welcome John and Doug. We have enjoyed this site for some time now, and are excited to see your enthusiasm here. It is indeed the BEST forum currently on the net, and we would be lost without it.
Thank You

Mike and Family

Old news about the sale, but every time it was mentioned it was censored or removed until now.

Suppose everything's hunky dory now, eh?

It's somewhere to go and see old friends and finds, don't care whose house it is.

 

[Frankn]

John & Doug I got to tell you when I came on today, I could not believe the speed. It was like going from my old Renault 4CV to a later XK150 I once had. And it hasn't bogged down yet. Congradulations!!!
Now if you could get that little spellcheck button back beside the preview button, my poor spelling wouldn't show. lol Frank

 

[snowdogg70]

i would like to welcome you both to t-net this is a great place and im sure you will be glad to be a part of it now!

 

[GoldenEagle]

Welcome, and thanks for the upgrade. I trust that your hard work and commitment will only make the best site even better.

[Chug And Red]

Thank You For the Response!!! I Know its Going to Take Awhile To Get Things Going And Upgraded!!! HH Chug and Red Just Be Paitent, Some Of The Older Member's Have Issues And and few Of the Younger Ones , Saying What They Need to To Get A Response!!! I Have Only Had 3 Beers So Far!!! Thanks for the news Can't wait to See What Happens Just Joking Chug

 

[ImpurestStewart]

What kind of changes can we be expecting exactly? I understand the upgrade but what rules/if any Are going to be changed?

 

[gollum]

Welcome John and Doug,

Hope y'all have a great time here, and make some money as well. When you said "Though we have added a couple of people here from the shop." I take it that your business bought the site? You might not know it, but treasure hunters in general are a nosey lot. What type of business is it? In my real life I sell cars, and always like to do business with my customers. If possible, some here may change their allegiances and use whatever your company does over their present choices. Heck, if you're a bail bondsman you may get a lot of business here! HAHAHA Just kidding.

Mike

[mod] Rude and totally uncalled for. Don't make the mistake of thinking that just because we are under new management that your rude behavior will now be tolerated, because it wont. [/mod]

 

[greydigger]

Welcome John and Doug.

This board is like a strange and quirky family.
I can find ANY info I have looked for and/or references to other places.
Treasure is not just what we find in the ground but background whys and who's.

Spell chequer would be nice
