this is good info RC. My questions were not meant to be related to one another but I guess they do go hand in hand. I'm with you on not covering ears completely for that same reason. When I'm deep in a wooded area, I need some of my ears to hear that Big wild animal stalking me or even worse, that toothless, shoeless, bib overall wearing, double barrel wielding mountain man looking for me.

It's the 2 legged creatures one has to be cautious of when detecting in the urban zoos.

Never had an issue with any 4 legged critter ever.

Well I had a big buck doing the head tilt one time.

So I took my headphones off and chatted him up.
There wasn't a tree big enough if he thought that I was cutting his grass.

I told he had a lovely herd of Doe's.
Compliments always smooth the waters.

Its the members of this thread that make this thread a thread... and not a thread.... as opposed to a threadless thread or an empty un-full thread which then makes the thread a real thread which in turn makes the site of threads have a thread like this thread become....

THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE THREAD ! ! !

Wheats are a good sign. And of course good themselves.
Some miles on that first year Merc.!
No date left on the very worn one I recovered last.

Life In The Year 1916​

January 5, 2016 by Melissa

Happy New Year! We hope that everyone had a great time during the holidays. Do you have a lot of plans for 2016? Before you start worrying about all you have to do, let’s go back and see what life was like back in 1916:

• The average life expectancy for men was 49.6 years and for women, it was 54.3 years.
• The U.S. population had reached 102 million
• There were 3.4 million cars registered in the U.S.
• The price of a new Model T Ford dropped to $360.00!
• 1916 was the year that the tow truck was invented by Ernest Holmes, Sr., of Chattanooga, Tennessee. He worked in a garage and was inspired to create the invention after he had to pull a car out of a creek with ropes and six men.
• What did union workers in New York City earn? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:
  • Brick layers earned 75 cents per hour
  • Carpenters earned 62 cents per hour
  • Painters earned 62 cents per hour
  • Plumbers earned 69 cents per hour
  • Structural steel workers earned 63 cents per hour
• The number one song title in 1916 was “Somewhere a voice is calling”, by John McCormack.
• Clarence Saunders opened the first supermarket in 1916 and it was named “Piggly Wiggly”. Prior to this, customers would shop at a general store where a clerk behind the counter would fetch items in limited quantity for customers. With his new self-service grocery store, customers were able to choose from a wider selection of goods at competitive prices.
  
• The hamburger bun was invented in 1916 by a fry cook named Walter Anderson. Mr. Anderson went on to cofound the first hamburger chain, White Castle, in 1921.
• About 60 percent of children were enrolled in school.
• Only 13 percent of students earned a high school diploma.
• California’s minimum wage was at 16 cents per hour.
• The average prices for these items were:
  • Round steak sold for 25 cents a pound
  • Eggs were 38 cents a dozen
  • Milk was 36 cents per gallon
  • A loaf of bread was 8 cents
  • Coffee sold for 30 cents a pound
  • A ten pound bag of potatoes cost 25 cents
  • Gasoline was 22 cents a gallon
  • A first class postage stamp sold for 2 cents
  • A movie ticket cost 7 cents
• The price of silver was at 67 cents per ounce and gold was at $20.67 per ounce.
• Few homes had indoor plumbing. It wasn’t until 1940 that the number of homes with complete indoor plumbing reached 55 percent.
• For $630.00, you could buy a two-story, three bedroom kit home from Sears. The kit included all the materials needed to build the house, including paint. Plumbing and heating were available at an extra charge.
• Edward Christopher Wente, of Bell Laboratories, invented the condenser microphone. This technology made it possible to start making long distance phone calls and condenser microphones are still used today for many different purposes.
• On the night of January 23, 1916, the temperature in Browning Montana dropped from 44 degrees to 56 degrees below zero!
• In 1916, William J. Newton patented the toggle light switch that you see in almost every home. They were safe, reliable and durable, but produced a loud click when someone flipped the switch on or off.
• On January 1, 1916, Washington State University defeated Brown University in the first annual Tournament of Roses football game.
• 
  William Edward Boeing teamed up with Navy Lieutenant George C. Westervelt in 1914 to build the Bluebell seaplane. This was the first Boeing aircraft and its maiden flight was made in June of 1916.
• The children’s toy, Lincoln Logs, was invented in 1916 by John L. Wright. He was a son of the famous American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.

We have come a long way in the last 100 years. I still don’t know how they managed to exist without a radio, TV, smart phone or computer!
