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 !!

I didnt get any metal detecting related gift. But I bought myself a Whites V3i and my wife got me a home beer brewers kit. I guess she wants some beer. Cool with me!! Ill just see how bad I can mess up makeing beer!! Never dont it before!

That is what I need to do. Get a home brewing kit, get the wife tanked up until she passes out, so I can sneak out to go detecting!

Let me know if you need any help with the V3i. It is a great detector!

At first I did not consider the snowshoes a gift from my daughter a metal detecting related gift ! Yet on my first outing to a forest preserve I found a set of stairs in the forest along the stream ! No sign of a foundation just a homemade 2 step stair in the middle of nowhere ! I can;t wait to hit it this spring !! MaineRelic

my MOM, on christmas morning my moms dialysis fistula burst. I am somewhat of a survivalist and had bought several gi combat trauma dressings, I grabbed one and put it on her arm and then dialed the ambulance. I kept pressure on it until they arrived. they got it stopped and she fainted. we got her on the gurney and to the hospital in time .

2 units of blood later it turns out her inr level was unusually high. this is the amount of coumadin (blood thinner) in her blood. war movies had nothing on this folks. if they had not come my only other option was using blood stopper powder on another dressing and carrying her to the car and driving to the hospital.

if you have anyone on coumadin or dialysis please take a very real and close look at your first aid supplies. I am going to buy me 2 blood stopper combat dressings (updated version with clotting agents) and double the amount of 4"x4" bandages as well. my car is getting its first aid kit updated too.

I thanked god and said prayers for my mom and for whoever invented the combat dressing.

My son gave me a coil cover (which I REALLY needed!)

I am going to reward myself with a Pinpointer in the next few weeks.

I've dug just enough to know how badly I need one!

Happy New Year & Happy Hunting!

As per a family tradition we opened presents tonight, that always gave mom time to socialize with everyone Christmas day during dinner!!! Red Is the Best!!! Here is what she Bought for Me Chug

You are really going to like that pinpointer. I bought one back in May. It will detect the target that still 1"-2" down and the VCO pulsing sound and vibe will not let you miss anything. It goes though about two 9-volt batteries in the seven months I've had it, but it's built well.
The first time I was out with it, was the first time in my 10 years of detecting to find a 14kt Figaro link necklace, 22" long. If nothing else, it's my lucky charm!!

Santa brought me a DFX, the first detector I have owned since '69. The one I had in '69 really was not mine it belonged to Uncle Sam. That fool had the coils (2) mounted on the front of a jeep. It took me less than a week to break it. Anyway I have not had a chance to take the DFX out to play but soon, very soon.

Welcome to the forum! The DFX is a superb detector. I miss mine a bit, but no complaints with my V3i. Tell us a little more about yourself...Where are you from, what you hope to find with the DFX, etc.

You were a shoe-in from the start! Congratulations!
