I had my Tahoe loaded Saturday late afternoon [size=small](the 7th)[/size] for a 3-day detecting jaunt to meet family and friends.
That was interrupted with an Urgent Message my sister received that our mother had had a heart attack and was rushed to a hospital in Portland and was unresponsive so we hurriedly grabbed our changes of clothes and took off on the 400 Mile Drive. We made it here in time and all the family is taking turns staying in the room with her, and after just arriving they decided it was my turn to spend Sunday night to Monday morning.
On Monday the 9th, I was contacted by the hospital security and told a window had been broken out in my Tahoe. I was facing the hospital in a Handicap Apace, 20 ft. from a security camera in a patrolled parking area. There's a good reason
I Can't Stand Portland.
Anyway they did a pretty good job of Nokta FORS Relic units and FORS CoRe, as well as Impact are easily identified.
If you live anywhere in the Portland, Oregon / Vancouver, Washington Metro Area or monitor any Craigslist, eBay, or whatever retail buy sell trade outlets there are, please watch for these detectors and notify me immediately if you would. If you happen to see one offered at a pawn shop, please inform the pawn shop that the item is probably stolen and give them my name and contact info:
I will double check when I get home to Vale and add any additional items. Here is the list of everything that was stolen from my vehicle as I know it right now:
1.. Nokta Impact
It had the
new 7-inch concentric accessory search coil mounted to it.
I use
environmental covers.
1.. Nokta FORS Relic device.
It is easily identifiable because I had the middle and upper rods powder coated to make my Relic a custom-looking unit.
The upper and middle rods are a bright Edge Blue color
The Relic had
environmental covers
One unit had
a white-colored accessory 5" Double D coil on and
it had three stickered numbers I applied that that I believe were '20', '30' and '67' or very close to those numbers.
1.. Nokta FORS Relic device.
It is also easily identifiable because
I had the middle and upper rods powder coated to make my Relic a custom-looking unit. The upper and middle rods are a bright Edge Blue color
The Relic had
environmental covers
This other
Relic unit was detached and in a Gray Nokta back-pack detector bag had could have either
a black-colored 5" Double D coil on or the
standard black-colored 7x 11 Double D coil .
1.. Nokta FORS CoRe model.
It is also equally identifiable as I had
the middle rod and upper rods powder-coated a very bold colored Edge Red.
This unit also had
environmental covers.
And the search coil mounted on it was
an accessory white-colored 4.7x5.2 "OOR" DD.
1.. Very pristine, 'as-new' condition Tesoro Bandido II µMAX
This model is identifiable because
it is mounted on the new currant powder-coated gold rod set I bought, like what they use now, not on the old shiny gold original rod.
This unit
had the thin, white 6" concentric accessory coil mounted.
1.. Gray Nokta backpack detector bag that contained the following contents:
.....
2 of the 7x11 DD coils for the Relic
.....
2 of the 5" black DD coils for the Relic
.....
1.. Upper rod w/display grip also in the custom Edge Blue powder-coat
.....
1.. Middle rod in the same custom powder coated Edge Blue color
.....
2.. New lower rods
.....
1.. Varta AA Battery Charger w/4 Varta batteries
,,,,, Also in that bag was a
Brand New set of Killer B 'Hornet' headphones in a green color.
1.. Black Nokta Impact backpack detector bag with the following accessories:
.....
2.. 7x11 DD Impact coils
.....
2.. 4x7.5 DD Impact coils
.....
1.. 5" DD Impact coil
.....
1 Varta AA Battery Charger w/4 Varta AA batteries
.....
1.. New-in-the-case Nokta Pointer
The thief / thieves also grabbed:
1.. New Nokta RS Pinpointer
and
1.. New-in-the-box Nokta 2.4 gig. Wireless Headphones with the power charging cable, and there was also
a dongle insert for the Makro Racer 2.
That is quite a bit to watch for, and is quite a shock to me and my enjoyment of these great detectors and loss from my
Regular-Use Detector Team I have been establishing.
More to follow if I find out anything else was stolen that related to metal detectors or detecting gear.
