    Detecting related Christmas gift?

    Merry Christmas everybody!

    I know I can't be the only one to receive a detecting related Christmas gift. In the past I've received detecting related t-shirts, treasure log book, new knee pads just to name few. This year the wife went all out! She rallied some family members like my mom and 2 boys to pitch in to get me the new XTreme X2 rock scoop with the Anderson's carbon fiber shaft!!!
    I can't wait to try this monster out!

    Good looking tool! I too receive mostly detecting gifts. Looks like with all that snow you'll have to do beach hunting. Good luck with it!

    Thanks Al! I'm itching to use it! Every time I walk past it in the garage I JUST HAVE TO... grab it, and pretend to step it down through all the rocks and pull it back, scoop it, do a little shake, shake.
