I'd like one of these...

So, my buddy, Jimmy, found this last week. I have no idea. Please help...

The fairly recent addition of the scrolling banner of member's finds is a wonderful thing. It showcases some very nice finds and presents them in an orderly fashion for us all to enjoy. I like it. This morning, quite by accident, I discovered something about the banner that had eluded me. It's...

My fifteen year old nephew from Atlanta has been visiting for the past week and we've been running full speed every day...many sights and events to experience in the Las Vegas area. One of the things he wanted to do before flying back home on Wednesday was to go metal detecting. I've been...

For those like me who use an iPad, there is a new iOS available (today)...free download (of course). It adds multi-tasking, folders, and Find my iPad. There are a lot of other enhancements too, but those are the most important. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/ios/ I installed it this...

I've seen the one at Binion's Casino in Vegas, but this one's pretty darn big. http://www.boingboing.net/2010/09/01/third-largest-gold-n.html

For the past couple of months, my wife and I have spent countless hours deep in the Mojave Desert hunting meteorites. We have all the toys necessary for such adventures...A Jeep, snake boots, snake gaiters, pistols loaded with snake rounds, etc. However, there is NO cell phone service in such...

Those who know me well will likely admit that I'm a dyed-in-the-wool techie. Heck, I've got just about every technical toy that comes along. My telescope automatically finds stars/planets; my cell phone will lock my house and turn on the lights; my miter saw has a laser guided blade; in the...

Just about the time one starts to figure that MDing is easy, along comes a new challenge...meteorite hunting. rofl We've just moved to Nevada and the challenge of finding meteorites seems interesting...to say the least. Believe me, it's a whole 'nuther world. :yes: I'm a coin/jewelry guy, but...

[size=1em]The following is not an advertisement for SunRay probes. I have seven detectors, only four of which are compatible with SunRays. I have one on each. [size=1em]Not to be confused with a pinpointer, a SunRay is actually a tiny coil (about 1” in diameter) that replaces your search coil...

This is nothing spectacular, but required a little research. I dug this about 3 down in a tiny park yesterday in my new hometown...Boulder City, Nevada. It's a pendant associated with a computer role-playing game called Crossfire. Here's what the website (http://crossfire.real-time.com/) says...
