I've direct messaged him a couple of times, he hasn't posted since November 5. I know he had some health issues, just wondering if anyone has heard from him. The guy was a contributing factor that fuels my enthusiasm for metal detecting. He a great attitude.

Not like him to just stop visiting. He was on here every day.
Yep. I knew something was going on when he didn't reply to the comments of the thread he started about that song he made. I mentioned it then, but no one knew anything.

"Oldkoot" hasn't logged in for quite some time as well. Both were mentioning some serious health issues:(
 
Cherry Picker was prolific poster and always had something vital to add to any conversation. I bought a Legend from him a year ago and for the life of my I can't find his home address.
 
Thanks for the concern, fellow hunters.

A while back, it hit me that I may have a head full of detecting knowledge from my time detecting, but it is probably outdated, and I'm not keeping up with what's new because I can't get out much. I decided to take a break and rethink my support.

Some 20 years ago, I was on top of all the newest stuff. Today, while I've used the best, I lack the knowledge to express my experience with the new tech detectors out today. In other words, I should keep my mouth shut LOL. I do so enjoy seeing all the goodies everyone finds, and I figure that is my food for now.

My health is so so. I go on the 19th to see what can be done with the extra-large growth in my intestines. The problem is when it swells, which is almost always; my abdomen swells, and that pushes on my lungs and causes my COPD to make breathing hard. Such is getting old. I can't believe I'll be 70 this year. I know some of you are over 70, but I was told by my pulmonologist some years back, I'd probably not see 68, much less 69.

So I just needed a fresh look at my lifelong hobby, and took a break. Now I'm back to loving all these great finds. It brings back memories.

I will help when I can, but I believe it is time to leave the new tech to the ones who use it aND UNDERSTAND IT BETTER THAN i.
