Hey all, I've been hibernating for the past year or so busy with other stuff (remodeling 2 houses) besides having detecting fun... And it has sucked.
But today my husband BB came strolling in with a used Minelab ctx 3030 in his paw and handed the thing to me. It's missing the battery, which is now on the way since the second thing I did after whooping was order one.
BB found the thing at a yard sale and got it for ultra cheap, which I think counts as a "find". Ultra-cheap as in $5. No, it's not hot, it's part of an estate so it's all good. He told the seller it was worth a lot more and they let him buy a cheap nail gun for $100 to make him feel better. Go figure...
Now I have to learn another machine and have an excuse to get out more often doing this great hobby.
The other "find" was hidden beneath an old dresser in a house we bought and I've been doing little remodeling jobs on for the past half a year or so. It was a metal coin box plumb full of old silver coins! I could not believe it, never have found anything even remotely close. It has everything from IH pennies to a Morgan and everything in between. I was kinda stunned to say the least...
Anyhoo, just thought I'd throw that out there for a dramatic re-entrance since I've been AWOL for so long... so hi everyone, I'm back!
