What is your favorite metal detecting related gift this holiday?

[West Jersey Detecting]

For me it is a copy of Albert's button book. The SEF coil is a close second. What is yours?

A trip to Florida to scope out new places to hunt when I retire! The weather is great all the time and there are a ton of beach areas, but no privies out there All in the name of some sort of treasure hunting. jgas

I had a chance to try out the new knee pads.....I am impressed. After hunting and getting down and back up many times, I did not have to pull the pads up or rearrange them in any way! My other set had to be pulled up constantly.....just would not stay in place. The pads I got are Craftsman Professionals from Sears (of course) and are labeled Gel System Plus. They are held on with a single velcro strap that "Y's" out attaching at two places on each side of the pads, then there is a single velcro patch that wraps around the back of your knee to the other side of the pad. I'm really liking these. I think they were $30 and that is what I paid for the Husky's I got at Home Depot that aren't worth a crap! If the straps hold up, these will be perfect. The straps on the Husky's are shot after just a couple of months use.

My favorite was a Garmin eTrex Venture HC handheld GPS. I'm off from work this week and was hoping to get out into the wood but with 30 inches of snow yesterday that may not happen...lol. I also got the Colonial and Early American Coins Encyclopedia which is a nice overview of colonial coins and after watching some great American Indian finds on T-Net the wife got me Arrowheads and Stone Artifacts A Practical Guide for the Amateur Archaeologist...going to try a little arrowhead hunting in 2011.

I hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas. Good luck in 2011.

My name was added to the participants list for the March DIV hunt. I love relic hunting and this has been a goal of mine to hunt a DIV hunt and meet other fellow relic hunters. This is the best metal detecting gift that I could have been given.

My wife got me a WandE treasure mag and I bought myself a tejon and I told her that she bought it.
She also bought me a camp shovel that brakes down and goes on a belt.

Everything I find on this is in Russian! Are you sure it is from France!? Does it go "Le Beep" when you hit a target? The wireless headset sounds like a good idea, let us know how that works out!!

My daughter presented me with a "High Sierra Hydration Pack" this back pack holds 1.5 liters of water and is worn like a back pack. It has a built in flex tub that you drink through on the end of the tube is a bite valve to release the liquid for you to drink when you stop biting the valve shuts off. Hands free and no spillage. Back pack has small pockest for car keys, wallet, etc. Fantastic item for hot days. do not have to carry water bottle. the mouth of the fill opening is large enough to add ice to your water. HHHH

Hello,

If your interested in going on Pawn Stars then you need to see their History Channels Pawn Stars page. There you can apply for a chance to get on the show. They want to know what you have and a few other things before they take you on the show. I was thinking about going for some artifacts my brother gave me and I checked into it. I may still go, I hope this helps !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

Was curious, so went to the page and happen to read the bios, and can't believe they'd say what they did. Talk about letting everyone in on the secret that Pawn guys are there to try and take advantage of you. He was born a hustler, and as a kid sold fake merchandise, and they are proud of that? What if it was 5k and he sold coke, would they print that too, and no wonder he can spot a fake Cartier, he probably used to sell them!



"After 28 years in the business, Rick Harrison is an expert when it comes to spotting anything fake or stolen. As far as big-ticket items, Rick is the man for the job. Spotting a fake Cartier watch that most people would mistakenly purchase for $30,000 is just one of his many skills. Often acting as the middleman between his father and his son, Rick is the glue that holds this family and business together. Trained in the pawn business from the age of 13, Rick was born a hustler. He even dropped out of high school to pursue his $2,000-a-week business of selling fake Gucci bags. With enough money to partner with his father at the age of 23, he never looked back."

I got on the list for DIV XVII as well. Can't wait. My wife said I needed a back-up detector for my XLT to take with me, so I chose a AT-Pro and Santa delivered. Some may say I'm a little crazy to try to master two different detectors, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. Gotta get the Pro-Pointer for the birthday, coming up in a week.

Lump of coal

You sure it was a lump of coal and not a metorite?
If it was a lump of coal, apply extreme pressure and heat and eventually you'll have a diamond.
