My new pro pointer broke today

[crankyolman22]

Today was cold and cloudy but no rain so at dawn I headed to a nearby pier in hopes of finding a diamond ring. I didn't find one.
I chased the tide out for a couple of hours finding the usual loose change, a sinker,and some funky lucite sinker thing that I think is supposed to look like grass under water.

Then before going home I decided to try my luck at the nearby park.
I found a weird piece of metal that I thought was some sort of gasket until I noticed the engraving on it.

I believe this is actually the ring from a Victorian powder jar.
But I could be wrong. I was wrong once.

Then I found a weird little piece of metal


I had no idea what this was until I got it home and took a closer look. It has a hole in one of the ends for a key ring or necklace. Then I noticed it seemed to be made in 3 pieces. I twisted one and to my surprise it unscrewed.

revealing that it is actually a little screwdriver. I need one of these frequently to fix my glasses since one of the lenses has a tendency to fall out at the worst times.

I found a little more loose change and was heading back to my car when the Pro Pointer I got for Christmas just up and quit working. It comes on but doesn't do anything. now I have to send it in for repair and my vacation is only 2 weeks away. I hope they didn't get hit by those tornadoes last night and can fix it in time.

So I went home and started smoking a nice brisket to try to take my mind off it but I'm seriously bummed. So I decided to take pictures and post. While taking them my little helpers decided to show up and try to cheer me up.


Of course their idea of helping is to get in the way and knock all my finds on the floor

But its the thought that counts.
Total finds for the day 7 Dimes, 6 Nickles, 21 Pennies, a sinker, screw driver and those two other funky things.

HH everyone

Thanks Cheg.
The first thing I did was replace the battery, That was no help. I love the propointer but still use my F-point with it. I had a Harbor freight pinpointer but dropped it in saltwater and killed it. I wore a hole through the tip of the F-point and got salt water in it but a freshwater rinse and some fastweld 10 fixed it right up. I've been so careful with the pro pointer keeping it away from the salt and anything else that might damage it that I'm surprised this happened but I read that they are a good company to deal with so I hope that goes well.

Gorgeous cats!

Thank you.
Its hard to believe that someone would abandon them but they were both were. The white one in 2000 at 3 weeks old and the other a little over a year ago.

I tried to call them but they weren't answering their phones. I figure they are trying to deal with the mess left by the storms. Ill try again today.
