Alrighty then, the dr. detector reference I cannot connect the dots on that, but based off the mathmatical probability, of my odds calculations, based on certain key factors, there is a 96.7% chance that this is the info you are looking for.

Of course! Used to see his posts all the time, and for a while he participated in an online metal detecting talk show... around 2000 or 2001. I'm not sure if anyone ever recorded and kept the shows.

PS: He used to go by Mr. Detector.

Ahh Mr. Detector, that will help my research anyway.
By the way people, all Info's I uncover, ARE sourced from public knowledge bases, so nothing I post is private information.

About Me & My Book

 

[BC1969]

Well thanks Iron Patch, that Mr. Detector vs Dr. Detector I was searching for concludes my search then.
That's sad that he passed on, that Mr. Part would have saved me some time, but at least I still got the right person, thanks again.

I wasn't aware he was gone, and was hoping it was the wrong person you found, but as I read and seen Ocala, I knew it was him.

 

[BC1969]

I'm sorry, I sincerely hope the info I found has not upset you, especially if he was your friend.

No, no worries there, I just posted at the same site for several years and knew him as a regular poster. At most I exchanged a few messages with him but that was all... really didn't know him on a personal level, but it's too bad he's gone. 50 years that guy detected and I sure hope I can get there too.

This is not necessarily true. While the data may be taken from public records, some data—especially data you pay for—may not be for public consumption. The Net is, after all, a double-sided coin of both good data and bad data. The heck of it is, most folks don't know which is which.

Oh, I forgot to mention. I have the book, and on a ten scale is about a 6 or 7.

 

[BC1969]

Ehh well I omitted A lot of info from what I posted, been doing research for years, I have a pretty good knowledge of what's what.
