Long story, but came into some decent extra cash through work (extra OT) and we bought a Fisher CZ-21.
YAY! Joe's happy... but now I gotta get one for myself. We'll share the 21 for now, but this isn't gonna work long-term.
I don't get a summer vaca this year so it's not that big a deal. I just hope it's warm enough to hit the water when we stay at a camp on a pond in Sept. when I'm on vaca... my Oct. vaca is definitely for land detecting.
The CZ-21 will be here tomorrow (Saturday), just in time for a 90 degree day on Sunday, July 4.
Yup... now to get me an underwater detector... then some extra gear... and then get certified for diving.... then..? Who knows... maybe dive for Sub Sea Research (getting paid to salvage ships) on some vacas or something. It won't all happen in a year, but as soon as we can. A friend of ours, Greg Brooks, is manager/part owner of SSR.
I don't know about Joe, but gold rings, etc, I find I'll be selling if it isn't engraved and I can't track the owner. I'll use the cash to pay for equipment and certifications.
This is, and always will be, a hobby of the heart. I love recovering items. Nothing will EVER change that. I'll always keep my day job until I can afford to retire and do this just for fun.
