Detector(s) used
AVATAR: MY Wife Saying....




"Your going Metal Detecting
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
The first hunt of the year started with the Police being called on me for M D 1-5-06

Then today started off by me tossing a small screwdriver across the garage on to my work area, only it didn't hit my bench. Instead it hit,
I'll give you 1 guess. Yep my Metal Detector. What a disappointment that was to see happen before my very eyes.
It still works but it does need to be repaired.
At first I thought I would be using the back up XLT.
Still went out and hunted a while. Took my mind off it for a while.
I didn't find any Silver but I got 12 Wheaties 1916 1919 1927 1929 1936 40 thru 58 the rest
Also got $ 2.44
and a bunch of junk


Any Idea on what a new display will cost....????????

OOOOH-that's doesn't look good.Glad it still works.Sorry about that.Bet you don't do that again. >:(
 

I use to do the old "good cop, bad cop" routine when I got a call on a suspicious person. Trouble was I was usually solo and while I was arguing with myself the suspicious person always got away! ;) :D Monty
 

Bob......Let this be a lesson to you. Next, we'll catch you running with scissors! ;)

I'm going to send your detector a get well card.....PM me your address.

My screen looks like that also. Dont remember how I did it. Dont worry about the LCD just get a new clear cover to put on it to keep the water out. The clear screen is just a sticker that will peel off and a new one will go right back on. I say dont worry about LCD because it is quite $$$ and the machine will still work fine the way it is.

Is the scewdriver ok?

RED NECK,

If it was your B H it would have gone through it and disabled it. My Whites XLT is like a TIMEX it took a licking and it's still ticking.
Maybe it's his point..If the scewdriver diden't get any damage after hitting such a (good) detector! :)
Hope you'll be abel to fix it soon.. ;)
 

that looked painful for the MD
