Poor 'old' (getting his new glasses today) Gregg's just trying to make it through these cabin-fever months here in the far reaches of Eastern Oregon when we can't get out to have detecting-time fun.

Binker's is saddened because he only has a Garrett Pro Pointer to use and he's already heard of me and Gregg and others who have reported that they 'carp out' easily. (The Garrett Pro Pointer I mean, although Binker's leaves his own presents here and there.)

Del's posts are almost all 'evening-time' posts after a hard day of detecting while wintering down south in more pleasant, huntable weather while he's trying to relax after trying to figure out some of the quirkiness of those funny Equinox devises.

And Rich(Utah) started it all by doing anything he could to add some traffic on the Minelab Forum to try and get reader's attention away from the 'real' serious detector brand Forums and make Minelab look like a legitimate place of interest.

Yep, no doubt about it. The AHRPS Forums have some real comics among the registered and active users. Better still, they are also skilled when they get out detecting. How nice is that.

Monte,

You're right about the Minelab forum. Here I was thinking I was wandering the wilds of the Old West by myself, Minelab detector in my hand. But no, there seems to be lots of us misguided souls. Perhaps a renaming of the forum page is in order; MA - Minelab Anonymous. I guess we can take some solace in each others company and try to manage the best we can under our handicapped (equipment) circumstances.

Can I nominate Del to be our group leader? I think he has more Minelabs than I do (i have just the one 800 and an Etrac). Let me know the meeting schedule.

As for the lightheartedness, it has been entertaining to poke a little fun at ourselves as some of us sit and wait for the weather to warm.

BTW, I went out to a very nice old spot in town yesterday (Wednesday) with my coin probe. The ground is thawed is a number of places. I didn't have time to hunt but my buddy that acquired my Racer 2 was out there today (Thurs) sending me some pics of his finds.
