Default So Frustrated...

So, I sent my MXT out to be serviced. And, now that I am sans metal detector, I Have noticed that a park in an old town near by has been torn up completely to be resurfaced - AND - in another town they have torn up the sidewalks in the center of town - and this town center goes back to 1655.

I have no doubt that by the time I get my detector back, the work will be complete and I will never get the chance to search these areas.

Been a bad week - detector died, hard drive died, bow broke, dishwasher broke, and the wall over my shower is in worse shape than I thought before I scraped the paint for repainting. And a turtle stole my teeth. And the wolves are chasing me.

Sounds to me like its time for a purge. and a rental Detector! Hope you get the chance to hunt those spots before they clean them up.

I think the thing that bothers me the most if the Bow. It isn't under warranty, and if I have to replace the limbs, it is going to cost me. And 3-D shoot season is starting, and I am going to miss the first one for sure, since I know I have to get the damn thing restrung. And sadly, I can't just use any bow, since I have a larger than average drawn length (32")

Well go to a pawnshop and see if you can get lucky there in finding a detector cheap. Sorry to hear about your travails, especially a turtle stealing your teeth.
