Well, things were a little slow last week at work so I surfed the net and found ya'lls site. Fantastic! I read through the site for about an hour, got the old fever, and then went home and pulled my dad's Heathkit metal detector out and buzzed around the yard for an hour or two. (Some of ya'll older people may remember the Heathkit metal detectors....the one where you build the coil into the head and use a transistor type AM radio for the signal? After you build the radio?) Well, after 56 cents and a pocket full of junk I went and bought a cheap BH from Wally-world. Found more coins,(nothing old), and more junk.The Heathkit did better! So I looked through the site (looking for a decent and up-to-date detector that wouldn't drain the bank account and wouldn't be stuffed into a closet when I got bored) and decided to find me one of those Radio Shack BH Discovery 3300's. I managed to sweet-talk the lady manager to find me a BH3300 for $99 from another store (they had zero in stock). Will be here on Friday. In the mean-time, I'll let my hands heal from all the digging through the tough Texas soil around here! Will let ya'll know how it works out. Have an old 1880-90 farm 100 yards away that will require my attention for awhile. Will let ya'll know how it panned out.
