I'm still waiting for the hunter to get delivered. I would have ordered at Nuggets (got the Mars shaft from them) but they told me the Hunter coil was out of stock and wouldn't be restocked before three weeks so I ordered directly from the Ukraine. With all the good stuff I'm hearing about the Snake I wonder if I should order one from Nuggets to be delivered for the next weekend.
Heh, I wish I discovered metal detecting when I was still in school, nothing like having the whole afternoon and evening free to hunt
I'm lucky if I get seven hours per weekend.
It's sometimes pretty crazy how cheap you can get land. Next to my best friend's house is a nice garden piece, probably the same size as the one you mentioned and it's 100€ a year with the requirement that the hedge gets trimmed and the lawn mowed. I almost sprung on the offer for storage for the stuff we find magnet fishing.
I had only mentioned Nuggets because you brought up ordering factory direct. Do not be shocked if Zöll stops your package and sends you a letter telling you to come open it in front of them. I have had this happen to me many of times man, and some times I have had to even pay import tax.
I had order so new parts for my AK from Israel and it got stopped. The agent told me that it was not legal in Germany because I could mount a laser to it. I showed him my Interpol creds and told him I would be mounting an ELCAN to it and planed to shot whomever I felt was a threat according to our agency guidelines.
He actually called in some agents to try and have me detained, the little moron had never heard of our agency. The agents he called in where like are you nuts, we can not arrest someone from Interpol.
So just watch out man, not everyone at zöll knows even a small portion of their job.
Yeah I find that in many places in Europe land is very cheap. Right now just about 3 kilometers from us is a full hectar of beach front property for sale. They want 3K for it, and the only stipulation is that you can not use it for any form of tourism income. But it has already electric, water, and sewer ran to it. Crazy man, beach front Italian property for cheap. Even if you only dropped a little prefab 45 square meter house on it, it is yours and ready to live in.
This area of Italy is really cheap though if you can read Italian.
Today I was at Ali, sort of like the Real. They have a message board out front where you can post things you have for sale. I saw an apartment listed for sale that I know very well. But this was in some real broken German and they wanted 190K for it. if you find it in the normal paper it is listed or 12K. LOL
You have to feel sorry for the Germans down here; they pay like 800% mark up on everything if they do not speak Italian. I have seen some buy towel on the beach for like 40 euro, if they would go to the city they would only pay like 4 euro.
But its the same in some parts of Germany too, like where we live in Germany. They charge the Americans two to three times as much. The house we purchased when we closed the deal at the bank the bank lady asked the man why he did not charge us three times as much because I am American that she would have done this. I just sat there and listened to her go on about how the bank does this with Americans. Then I asked her in German to please go get her Manager, HR Manager and Security Manager.
She was shocked; I had that bank (Volksbank) blacklisted from all NATO personnel.
But if someone is not willing to try and learn then they are going to pay for their mistake I guess.
Well if you ever have an interest in Italian beach front property or even lagoon property let me know. I could get you in a house down here for less than 20K and here they are always looking for fluent German IT folks.
