Detector(s) used
Three White's, one Fisher and a Minelab.....I'm beginning to wonder if I am a metal detectorist .....or a collector of metal detectors?
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
How's the digging in the Lima Area? Let me know if you ever want to come East about 2.5 hours and hunt in my neck of the woods. I am in Southern Lorain county Ohio or maybe we can meet in the middle somewhere and do some door knocking.
 

One year left and what? Do i understand right what you wrote? ;/

Dear Brother Al, I am sure there is a story behind your title, but as it stands it has me assuming the worst. If so, I am so sorry, that must be tough to face. If otherwise, please shed some light on what you are facing.
 

Al, I cannot fathom what you must be going through. My twin, Tim (posts here as TimC) is also terminal. Told he has less than two years. Seems to trouble me more than him! Hold on to those kids and grandkids. Make your peace with Him and dig, dig, dig! When it's my turn, we can discuss which is the best detector. Warning. It may take most of eternity to come to a mutual agreement. Take care my friend. Terry

(update 4/14 11:04 am) Tim learned today that his cancer has spread throughout his limp nodes, chest, neck, and scull. Doctor told him that the new program he just started will only give him a 50/50 chance of prolonging the timeline, whatever that means. Time to make some plans in this family.... TTC

Sorry to hear about your twin brother. It touches me deeply as I have an identical twin brother as well. My prayers are with him, you and your family.

Tnx for the prayers, much appreciated. Terry
 

To everything there is a reason. We may not agree or like it, but we all will have to deal with it sometime. Remember the good and forget the bad.
Me? I thank the big guy every morning for giving me one more day, and try and make it worth something. If not to me, at least to someone else.

And hopefully when it's time, we all go to a better place.
 

Thanks folks for all the kind words and PM s.
I have made my piece many moons ago and am going out swinging!
 

Where to begin?
So much to say. So many friends here. I have hopefully 1year left and I am going going out digging!
The TN community has been awesome. I welcome PM's from My friends. Let's go dig!

Prayers and Positive Vibes!!! :occasion14:
 

My heart goes out to you! Very nice though that the time that you have left will be spent doing to world's greatest hobby! My Grandpa, who was an all around wonderful person, had terminal colon cancer. I met him in the last few months of his life, travelling down to Argentina, where he has lived since he was a young boy who moved from Spain. He was so positive and cheerful I never knew he had anything wrong with him until he passed, he kept his disease a secret and only decided to have minimal treatment. I realized that the reason why he did that was so his family would remember his last year on earth as a great and happy one, and he was quite old and accepted his death. I still feel him around me, and the week after he died, I could strong feel his positive presence. I am deeply saddened to read this post, I am hoping very much for you to long outlive your estimate. I have heard of people who were told 6 months living 6 years. Reading your post makes me become more aware of my time on earth, I may only have months left for all I know, anyone could. It is always best to live your whole life like you only have a year to live, so when it is your time, you have no regrets and are willing to go. In the year or more that you have left on earth, they may even develop a cure, they are very close to some medical breakthroughs. My advice, which I am very unfit to give, is to remove all dread from you and focus only on happy things. Make the most possible out of your time here, and you won't have any regrets when it is your time.
