I wonder if one of our members here is an electronix tinker? I would bet that a lot of us have dead or malfunctioning detectors of various makes, some are no longer in business so we can't exactly ship them back to the manufacturers. Might make for a good side biz, for a person with the ability and equipment.

I don't know how good that business would be. If I charged $25 an hour, plus parts, plus shipping to work on your 30 year old detector, and you could buy a modern decent ACE 250 for about $200, would you REALLY want to spend all that money on 30 year old technology?
Maybe someone who was retired and just wanted to play around with old detectors, but not for a business.

Frankn said:Oh yes there's treasure out there 'or was! I posted earlier that I was researching a train robbery in which $6000 in silver coins were lost. I located an old post that mentioned the robbery. I contacted the poster. He told me exactly where the spot was. The problem was he also told me that all of the coins had probably been found. Some searches turn out better than others. This was not one of them!
Oroblanco said:I don't understand the government practice of getting control of lands where relics, treasure etc are buried and close them off to metal detectors. If you have ever visited the Petersburg battlefield museum, you can get a look at what lies under the earth all over that place, it is almost incredible the amount of weapons, fired and un-fired ordnance, personal items etc that is still there - and apparently they think it is far better for ALL of that to simply dissolve into the earth rather than allow the public to find, recover, preserve and CHERISH those relics and artifacts. I wholly disagree on many grounds, and have written a fair number of letters over this problem without making any headway.

I, for one, am anxious to hear your treasure leads. Got a feeling they will be
the authentic type we hear so few of. What states will you post on?
