Dan's Treasure Corner & Podcasts

Glitch Fixed!

I just found a glitch in the new podcast, and I've fixed it. If you tried to listen to it earlier today and it wouldn't play for you, it should be fine now.
 
Treasure Hunting Forums and Message Boards

My latest podcast is an overview of the free treasure hunting and metal detecting internet forums. Large boards, small boards, national boards, regional boards, email-based newsgroups, and more. What boards are available, and what you can find on them. (If I've left any out, please let me know!)

There is a world of information out there, all free for the asking.

Visit http://thetreasurecorner.com.

NOTE: My podcast server has done some updating, and somehow they have lost the ability to connect with the audio player I use. So until they find the bug, you'll have to listen to the show by clicking the POD icon just to the left of the show number (068-110331).

If that doesn't work, try right-clicking the POD icon and then use the "Save Link As" option to save the show to your computer, then listen to it from your hard drive.

Please buzz me ([email protected]) if you have any problems. Thanks!

Dan's podcast on podcasting

I'm in a bit of a quandary.

I generally post a note here about my latest podcast topic. But the show this week is about how I do the show, not about metal detecting. So for those of you looking for my topic announcement, it's on the Family Friendly Topics board this week.

I'd post a link to that note, but I don't know how. (If any board ops can help, please feel free to edit this! Thanks!)

The show is #124 at http://thetreasurecorner.com.
 
Hey Dan

Luv the show, I look forward to it every week. Thanks for all the info you provide and keep up the great cast.

Thank You
 
Very cool. I was researching this very topic a week or so ago. I work in TV/Film professionally, and have been in and out of conversations related to this with some of our editors. Of course we use sound booths and everything built for this purpose. However, for a home setup (at least for me) something much more simple is needed. As a matter of fact, I need something more mobile, and was looking at using a Tascam DR-40 as the recording device and mixing it down in some software after the fact.

But you might have me convinced to do a stationary setup like this as a more permanent solution!
 
Weight Loss for the Treasure Hunter

My metal detecting / treasure hunting podcast this week is a bit off topic, but many of us are now at the age where being overweight can be dangerous.

My doctor told me I had to lose weight when I was diagnosed with diabetes. So I did, much to his surprise.

I found it pretty easy, and if you need to drop some pounds, diabetic or not, listen to this show. This is the diet that has worked for me for over a decade, and has totally eliminated all my diabetic symptoms too.

PLUS, a report on a study that shows how you can cut your exercise time in half and still lose three times as much weight as you would have lost the old way.

And no, I'm not selling anything! (Well, except my treasure hunting book.)

It's show #126 at http://thetreasurecorner.com/ .
 
I just hope you haven't traded diabetes for heart disease. It's been about 10 years for you on a high cholesterol diet, which I still consider short term, but long enough to have an impact. I agree that short bursts of exercise sustain muscle and burn more fat than long cardio which burns fat as well but can slow muscle recovery. Your macros are in good proportion but their are better ways (IMO) to keep protein and good fat intake high while keeping bad carbs low than to make meat the majority of your diet. Just ask Mr. Atkins...

Hi Diggler!

My heart is fine, at least according to my annual physicals, and my cholesterol numbers are at the upper end of the normal range. I'm comfortable with what I do, and I'm afraid if I tried to change anything I'd fall off the wagon completely.

As for Dr. Atkins, I quote Wiki:

Atkins suffered a cardiac arrest in April 2002, leading many of his critics to point to this episode as proof of the inherent dangers in the consumption of high levels of saturated fat associated with the Atkins diet. In numerous interviews, however, Atkins stated that his heart attack was not the result of poor diet, but was rather caused by a chronic infection.

Atkins' personal physician and cardiologist, Dr. Patrick Fratellone, confirmed this assertion, saying "We have been treating this condition, cardiomyopathy, for almost two years. Clearly, [Atkins'] own nutritional protocols have left him, at the age of 71, with an extraordinarily healthy cardiovascular system".

According to reports on CNN at the time of Atkins' convalescence, Dr. Clyde Yancy, a cardiologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and a member of the American Heart Association's national board of directors reported that "despite the obvious irony, I believe there is a total disconnect between [Atkins'] cardiac arrest and the health approach he popularizes".


I never followed the Atkins diet as written. I cherrypicked it for what I felt I could handle, reasoning that even a partial diet was better than what I had been doing before (which was nothing). And at least for me, I've kept the weight off and am still playing softball (three different teams, four times a week plus a two-hour practice) at almost 66.

I go to my class reunions and I see guys in wheelchairs, on oxygen, walking with canes, bent over like my great-grandfather, and I consider myself so lucky to still be able to run the bases at about the same speed I did when I was 20.
 
Well I think you are doing great. Just being aware is great, but actually doing something... rare! Look into intermittent fasting (IF) if you get bored. I cherry picked from lots of programs but IF has pumped my natural HGH through the roof. Keep it up!
 
Dan's Old-Time Radio Corner - Somebody Knows

6089308


In 1947, Elizabeth Short was murdered. Now, two-thirds of a century later, the crime is still unsolved.

Sixty people have confessed to the murder, but they were all lying. Or were just 59 of them lying?

Somebody Knows ran on CBS in 1950. Each week, a true-life murder was reenacted, and a $5,000 reward was offered to anyone providing information that led to the arrest of the murderer.

This episode is about the still-unsolved murder of Elizabeth Short, in a case that has become known as the Black Dahlia Murder.

Dan's Old-Time Radio Corner - That Brewster Boy

6116497


That Brewster Boy was a radio sitcom that ran pretty much concurrently with World War II.

The formula was typical of radio sitcoms - Mom and Dad, and cute, popular teenage daughter, and younger, boisterous son.

The main character, Joey Brewster, was played first by Eddie Firestone, then by Arnold Stang, and finally by Dick York. (Yes, THAT Dick York.)

This episode, A Visit From Dottie, first aired on December 29, 1941.

Treasure Hunter Dick Stout, and a year-end wrap-up

6563292


So another year comes to an end, and my last podcast of 2013 is a hodgepodge of various and assorted short topics, tying up some loose ends and adding some new notes to older shows.

Also, a plug for legendary treasure hunter Dick Stout, who has written several books on metal detecting and treasure hunting, and now does a daily blog.

Best wishes to all for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and may your next beep be the best find of your life!

The Saddle Ridge Hoard - Questions

6956983


The largest treasure hoard ever found in the United States was discovered by accident. While walking their dog, a man and his wife saw a piece of metal sticking out of the ground.

After some scraping with a stick, they unearthed this metal can containing 170 gold pieces. More digging and seven cans later, their trove was worth ten million dollars.

Where did it come from? Was it stolen loot from a stagecoach or bank? Was it buried by a rich but eccentric miser who didn't trust banks?

Can they keep it all? Can they keep ANY of it?

And why did they wait a year to report it?

Listen to the story at http://thetreasurecorner.com.
