OK fellas, I have made grave error this week and it has lead to a chain of non-reversible actions. I'm sure the Mods can even relate. Here's the deal....
It all started about two weeks ago as I was laying in bed looking for something entertaining to watch on the big screen. Soon I was browsing Youtube for something of interest, my first mistake. My second mistake was clicking on a link to a metal detecting video, this since leading to several more evenings spent watching the same type thing. The next thing I knew I was going through my closet in search of old Betsy, my old blue Excal that I used with great success on the beaches of Florida. "Three days"....that's how long I spent going completely through old Betsy and her set of interchangeable search coils, then the search for my scoop and digging tools, finds pouch, etc., etc. And now, on my desk, there sits a DeLorme Michigan Atlas, the same atlas I have had for 20 years, it's pages littered with notes and productive locations. Now as I try to sleep of night my dreams are filled with items of gold and silver, assorted gems, and also old and forgotten relics of all manner. I can actually smell the dirt, feel the sand in my hands and between my toes, the water all around me, Betsy laying next to me with her control housing on a pillow. And you know how women are when it comes to jewelry and gems, plant the thought and there's no turning back. I should have left her in the closet!!!!!!

...as now I recall that my son has one with 4k video that he told me I could use anytime I wanted to. THANKS A BUNCH!!! What kind of intervention is that!
