    Howdy all y'all

    Hello from the Dallas Metromess!

    Name here is Raymond and I'm addicted to metal detecting.

    I have many different metal detectors - all White's: Prizm II, Prizm IV, Classic III, Eagle Spectrum, Surfmaster II, DFX, and TDI. I'm also a dealer.

    I've been detecting since the mid 80s when I started with a new Coinmaster TR. Talk about dig everything! It had no discrimination.

    I'm also into hunting, gunsmithing, coin collecting, repairing electronics (old computers - 486 & earlier back to the 70's, old game consoles - Sega Genesis and older, and arcade game boards.), and driving my Miata.

    Oh, and yes. My metal detectors DO fit in there. So do my rifles. You should see the looks I get driving to the range with the top down and the hard rifle case wedged between the back side of the passenger seat and the roll bar!

    RJ

    Re: Howdy all y'all

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

    A big group of us joined over here after the massive changes that have happened over on the White's forum. I'm a former moderator there so I'll try to be on my best behavior here as I know what it's like to herd cats.

    HAHAHAHAHA!

    Carver, I'm waiting on the last 4 parts to finish my AR-15 project! They should be here any day and I'm hoping that the USPS folks can get them here before Christmas. The next project will be an AR-10, a.k.a. the .308 NATO version of the AR-15. We have a huge wild pig problem in Texas and I think a nice semi-auto carbine would let me get more than one pig when a group of them start attacking the deer feeders. Those pesky critters have NO natural enemies, breed like crazy, and will knock over a deer feeder to eat the corn.
