You are Joking wright

 

[Dan Hughes]

Nope. "Lucky Dip" is a term used in the UK, but not in the USA.

I had to look it up - it's a barrel full of kids' toys.

At least if they want your find they pay you fair value for it, over here more and more laws saying that anything buried over 30 years is property of the state.(WA is one for example). So yes if the USA was to enact the same type of treasure trove rules as the UK most of us would support that as it looks like a better deal to me than making detecting illegal.

Not always the case, that you get fair value, there has been cases were the find has been grosly under valued. It also takes forever to get paid of them, believe me I know

Guess it has its good points as well as bad.

Have no idea what a "Lucky Dip" is or why a rattlesnake wouldn't be accepted at one.

Unfortunately, I'm on dial-up and thinks like "Streaming Video", "Facebook" and "You-tube" are in the same catregory as Unobtanium was to the early nuclear physicists. But thanks anyway.

Do you give TreasureNet a stipend for advertising your website on their bandwidth?

I had to look it up - it's a British thing. A barrel full of cheap toys that kids reach into and pull one out. A rattlesnake in there wouldn't be pleasant.

Nope. Aside from a brief mention of my book at the end of the show, it's a free program with no advertising. It is quite popular on several treasure sites. Some of them have specifically asked me to post announcements of new shows on their boards, and a couple have even asked my permission to add a special section to their site to announce the show's topics when a new program is posted.

Here's a sample article I turned into one of the programs:

Hope you're able to upgrade your connection soon! My parents are on a phone connection, and try as I might, I can't convince them to upgrade (they're both approaching 90 years old and not likely to listen to a young 62-year-old whippersnapper like me).

Charlie, I noticed in your sidebar that you have a Radio Shack kit detector. I had one of those, too, in about 1973. My first TR detector (I previously used a Jetco BFO machine).

The Radio Shack detector was the first Heathkit I ever built. Mine was a nice rust color. It worked great, but it didn't have a discriminator. I traded it even-up for a new paint job on my '63 Corvair!

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

My RS kit was lost in a house-fire at my parent's home years ago. It worked . . . but just barely.

I'd LOVE to upgrade. But there is no cable out here - we live just beyond the boonies - and the nearest cable company has more excuses than Congress for why they can't serve our area. No Wi-Fi, I'm way too cheap to install an independant satellite system, and my cell-phone is a $10 pre-pay burn phone (I spend about $100/year on cellular calls).

Heck, we have half a dozen kerosene lamps because the power is out monthly. You take the good with the bad when you live out in God's Country.

Charlie, I just looked at your profile and saw that you're a college professor. What's your subject?

I taught broadcasting for 26 years (retired three years ago) and ran the college radio station. My podcasts are my way of staying in the biz.

Do you have a faster connection at school? Or are the pretty strict with what you do on company computers?
