thanks
has not been a vary good two years for us and not expecting it to get much better hopefully 2022 will be better i have not been able to metal detect since April 1 2019 the day my wife was ran down by a low life but at least she is still with me physically, mentally its off and on and not expected to get any better it is what it is
I figure I can live my metal detecting dreams through everyone else's post its all i can do rite now would love to be able to get out myself but its just not possible, been giving some serious thoughts of selling off my equipment but not sure i want to do that either, I had just purchased a new to me PI machine a whites TDI SL Pulse scan, when my wife got hit and have never been able to go out and use it, it kinda took the wind out of my sails dont want to sell any of them but not knowing when or if i will ever be able to go out again, it kills me to see them just sit there leaning against the wall with the batteries removed of course LOL

Well I guess that's enough BOO Hooing for myself again thanks for welcoming me back

Prayers sent for your wife and you. Did they ever catch the hit and run driver?
as far as we know they have not caught the low life, I doubt after two years they ever will

thank you for your prayers

Welcome back and its good to see you haven't lost the passion.
Sorry to hear about the not so good news regarding the Mrs and the problems it created.
Don't be a stranger there's always something to view/read on the forums for one to take a break from life's curve balls.
