Dr. Dugemup at your service! With my musician ears, I'd like to teach a course in metal detectors with variable tones. Used to be able to tell a silver dime from a clad one just by the sound of my 1266-X. Once our grads start makin' the news the grants will start rollin in. We have to give PBK professor emeritus status and let him teach all the find identification courses! Here's a sample curriculum:
