Used some history and rumor from old timers as a last ditch detecting spot and ended up finding the rumors to be true and history in a spot no one appears to bothered to detect only hit a small portion right away hit my first V nickel it's toast but a first for me.

Sweet bunch of finds, congrats on the first V!

I'm heavily armed.... so.....

Thee.... wickedest gun I have ever owned.

In 2011, we introduced the KSG and completely changed the world of tactical, pump-action shotguns. Pick your favorite variant or collect them all… we won’t blame you. All of our shotguns are chambered for 3″ shells and fire a wide variety of projectiles. The dual tubes feature a selector switch that we affectionately call, the world’s fastest reload. We should also mention that they’re all downward-ejecting and completely ambidextrous.

Very nice!
Im a pretty big shotgun fan. Currently im laying the groundwork for a Breda or a Sailent Arms custom Breda. Id kinda like to do the custom work myself, but certain things I just dont have the tools or machines to do it!

Very nice!
Im a pretty big shotgun fan. This year ill be at the Thunderstick convention. My current line up is.
#1 Remington 870 Marine Mag police trade in. I put a new barrel on it with trijicon front and rear sights,Vang Comp oversized safety, magpul furniture, and I tool 3lbs off the trigger. Went in and slicked everything up so no burrs.
#2 Remington 870 Police Magnum SBS.
I ripped it apart and slicked it up,took 3lbs off the trigger,Vang Comp Shell carrier,Vang Comp oversized safety, Vang comp +2 mag extension, extra power spring and VC follower,Scatter gun ghost ring sights.
Remington 1100 tactical...under construction
Benelli special 80...under construction
Mossberg sbs...not my favorite but has taken a beating and still runs!
Remington 870 police mag reciver...under construction. I have a folding Chisel stock and shell carrier for it,VC shell carrier,VC oversized safety, and waiting on a VC barrel,reciver will be tapped for a red dot mount. Internals will be old police mag or wingmaster mag parts.
Rest of my shotguns are at my PA house. All are non tactical sporting clay guns...Browning Citori's,Berettas, and Benelli.
Currently trying to get my wife to let me get a Breda or a Breda that Sailent Arms has worked their magic on.
Then I saw some company has a cheap AUG style shotgun i need! I have a AUG so a shotgun AUG would be neat! Ill need to do the paperwork for the ATF so I can cut the barrel and crown it,but its easy.
I will also eventually break down and get a Beretta 1301. As a huge Beretta fan I will say the 1301 didnt impress me as much as I thought it would, but the Breda's are absolutely amazing!

I have a few duck/grouse/pheasant hunting shotguns I inherited. Looooong ass barreled guns !! The KelTec is my favorite shotgun.

Went and did some tilling today. Beautiful 40F out, got the 3000 started up, and tilled the ice in the yard and up the Lane way, and shop yard. Took a picture or 2 after I did a couple of rows.
The hill was challenging, spun out sliding sideways. View attachment 2240277View attachment 2240278
Heck yesterday I plowed ladders.🤣

Good afternoon everyone! Cloudy, mid 40'sF. Forecast is for NO precipitation at all for the nex full week here. We will see.

Know that stretch of road all too well. I'd run 299 from Redding over to Arcata, and
then up the 101 to Crescent City. There is/was a particle board factory there in Crescent
City, and they made stuff that was 8' x 14' that was used as flooring in manufactured
homes built near Denver. It was some super slick stuff, and if you didn't strap it
correctly, the whole load could slide right out on a corner, just like a new deck of cards. View attachment 2240294

On 299 they have caution signs recommending a max of 30' from kingpin to rear axle,
and I was driving a 280" wheelbase Freightliner Classic, and with the flatbed I was at 42'.
There are a number of tight, blind corners where I'd need both lanes (on a 2 lane hwy) to
make it around, and it was always a crap shoot, as in the daytime you could not see
oncoming traffic. So, I'd leave Redding about 10pm so I could at least see the glow of
oncoming headlights on those corners, and then get into Crescent City right on schedule.

I'd leave Crescent City and run out 199 into Grants Pass where I'd pick up I-5. That bit
in Calif. before you hit the Ore. border is no fun at all. Several times I had a CHP right
on my ass all the way through the big timber, and there is no room for error on the corners
as trees are right at the pavement edge. I believe the rule was "scratch a tree and go to jail".
Absolutely sucked in the summer with all the tourist traffic, and in winter it would ice up
like a skating rink. View attachment 2240291

There are times when I actually miss all that fun...but just for a minute or two. View attachment 2240292

There was a "too damn long" truck ignored the bug station telling him no, he made it through the canyon but CHP got him as he pulled on to 101.
I know the passing lanes and plan accordingly. Slow moving vehicles must use turnouts... Good luck with that ! I push the Firebird until I run out of nerve !
I left foot brake and go like hell... It could easily go faster through the corners without losing control but I have never driven a car that says.....Is that all you got sissy boy ? KITT actually was a talking 'bird, show called Knight Rider. Hassel Hoff Hassel Hoff !!

 

[Oregon Viking]

Good Afternoon !!

Here i got 5? Shotguns. All tacticool..2 Remington police mags 1 is a SBS,Remington 1100 tactical, Mossberg SBS,and soon to be Benelli SBS.
My pretty shotguns are at our PA house. They were only used for sporting clays with Grandpa.
Im a Remington 870 police mag fan. They are built differently than your normal 870 express. Just better parts and quality control is better. They're even made on a separate assembly line.

Available on Amazon for about $425. Cool toy, but too expensive just to have it to play with. View attachment 2240296

Straight roads are great, but America isn't built for it...there's a few bumps here and there.
What I'd have loved to do (sometime in the past) was to drive one of the Aussie road trains
across that country. I've seen video's where they're pulling three 40' trailers.

When I used to do detector training days in Clermont Queensland for Minelab it meant driving from the coast where we lived to Clermont at a quick guess 500 km each way.
I once got stuck between two road trains hauling cattle. There were long sections 20 to 30 km where a car just couldn't pull over off the road, the drop was too much and you damage something if you did. So for kilometers im stuck between 2 of them with with no opportunity to overtake getting absolutely sprayed in cow crap and pi$$. I didn't have air conditioning and it was hot, had to keep the windows up, vents closed and the wipers going nearly all the time hitting the spray. First thing I did when home was hose it all off in the driveway. It was unbelievable. The road train drivers up there were ok, never a problem. But the ones here in Victoria are A grade dogs.

Only hunting ive done was deer,turkey, hog,and coyote.
I haven't been hunting in a long time though. Unless you count the coyotes I battle to keep my 3 ducks from being eaten!

That goes for most of every over paid entertainer.
I lost all respect for sports when the big contracts started influencing the outcome of the games.
Not knocking anyone that get their engine revved up on the open play/pitch/or when the puck drops as it's entertainment, though I would rather spend my $$$ doing something for me.
Did watch a football game back in 2009 around New Years while vacationing in FL.
Master's golf game was viewed as well.

Our football here used to be much better, guys were faithful to the clubs and played in them near their whole careers, played tough and rarely saw any fake injuries.
Now the big bucks are in it the players move from one team to another like a card game of Go Fish. Fake fall overs, umpires obviously on the take making seriously dodgy calls. The game is ruined and even though I do follow a team the Western Bulldogs, I often turn games off when the games looking rigged by the umpiring.
The players yrs ago played but had jobs too, they wouldn't survive on the game only.
Now they're on mega deals big money, big sports bet companies involved with the AFL and its ruined.

Playing with balls and pucks...Nah.
Today is the season opener for Supercross in Anaheim! High flying fun!

Been watching Dakar recently. Always liked that race. The trucks are awesome.

Good afternoon everyone.

Rain rain and more rain here in the Georgia mountains!
Think im gonna order some UV flashlights for hunting rocks and minerals. The main ones I want are currently outta stock,but I can get a small 255nw stimac and a convoy c8. Eventually ill get a bigger 255nw,310nw,and 340nw.

I use one to check out if a fishing lure will UV glow under it.

Indiana looks tough for sure. I was kind of rooting for them until Miami made it to the big game. Now I'm hoping Miami wins. One thing that I don't care for is Indiana's coach. He acts like a world class douche. All part of the rivalry.

I am a `big 10 fan "_ EXCEPT for Ohio State lol

 

[Oregon Viking]

Had a session with these guys last night....

 

[Oregon Viking]

I’ve been watching some of the early Supercross races that popped up on my YouTube feed. 1970s and 1980s. Pretty cool seeing those air cooled and dual rear shocks bikes. When they finish and they showed the winner he was so tired, I was like get that guy a cigarette and a Budweiser. No Monsters or Red Bull back then. Lol

I had a CR-500.... or Elsinore.....in the late 80's it was a workout just to ride it !!
