And I agree, things have been a little slow here and on most other Forums. Part of it is seasonal and partly the holidays. We have to also appreciate the fact that many old-timers / long-times have passed on or reached a point where health hampers their detecting abilities (and I can relate to this)[/b Z] all combined with fewer 'local' dealers and very limited newcomers to this great sport.

Then there can be some pending detectors that are not announced or can be talked about just yet, so that limits new-models discussions. I'd like to, but I am sure any new entries, like the Manticore and Axiom and the not yet announced X-XX SMF will surely generate some activity when released. Matter-of-Fact, the X-XX SMF will likely be my next new detector for my Detector Team. Then it can be talked about ..... next year.

We also need to remember those who live in nicer climate weather areas in the winter as well as those who travel for the holidays or are 'Snowbirds' and will make some finds and posts as winter continues.
