With the Powerball jackpot at 340 million, I was thinking of the things that could be had, done etc if one would win. One thing on my list would be a new DFX and a coach to show me how to use it. Everyone has opinions on a favorite detector but it comes down to learning what you have. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to actually show you what the machine does??? Metal Detector University!!

I Hate To say It, But The ONLY Charities I will Support Are The Ones That Don't Come BEGGING as soon as they find out I won.

If I win I think I will paint my bald naked body in mustard and go detecting on the Mall in Washington D.C.

Then I think I will stuff my pillow with 100 dollar bills. That should help me sleep.

I'm going to buy a real truck something from the 1950's

I'm going to have Whites invent trailer coil that I can pull behind a 4x4.

Then detecting shoes that pinpoint with the big toe. You have to learn the tones, folks learn the tones.

I'm starting a DFX support group. For real.


The list goes on and on

Hey gang, just having fun and looking for the type of replies giving the amount of hype the Powerball has generated of late. The replies were as expected other than dano. "What the F???" Nice dano. Not quite the reply I was looking for. My comments were completely light hearted.

I would prolly buy like 100 detectors and a closet big enough to put them in...then i would probably go crazy like all rich people and spend it on instant noodle stocks or something :P ::)

Definarely Islands. They Showed one on the News The Lottery Winner Could Purchase.

I like that Idea Too, then get a Seat in the UN & every time you come here You'll Be a DIPLOMAT & the law can't touch you? ;D

Didn't anybody watch "Shawshank Redemption"? Donate it to a spouse.

P.S. $20 in lottery tickets...that means I should get at least 3 numbers (total) this time.

We all realize the odds are against us , but it is fun to think about it.
(1) Sign the back of the ticket.
(2) Put it in safe deposit box.
(3) Hire the best financial wizard in the country.
(4) Disappear for (6) months , as you'll have more friends than names in the phone book.
(5) Pay off college bills for my niece and nephew.
(6) Rent beach front property in Florida and Hilton Head.
(7) TH 12 months a year.

Tough life but someone has to do it.
