Up at 6am on my last of 6 days off. Darn the domestics! Went a swishing and a digging with the Seahunter mk11 and Freedom 3 Plus. Was going to enjoy my last day off before I was once again "imprisoned" with the bouys in the halfway house. Hit a lake and the lake...fought back as it sent this...

Wow! Saturday was going to be a long and busy one. Took Marie out for a very early breakfast as her day was going to be spent in the kitchen preparing for the annual LeRue's Family Picnic. Being a man of limited domestic experience it was my karma that I best disappear for the morning least I...

After dropping Marie off at work at 0600hrs I just continued on in the pouring rain to a local school and did the dew with my back up machine the Pro. Doesn't mind the rain like my Freedom 3 Plus! Was mildly surprised by my first find of the eyeball variety......Play Dough jars thrown all over...

1 Freedom 3 Plus 1 Seahunter Mk11 2 lakes 2 school lots 2 hours 15 equals quota

Received a call the other day from a lady named Andrea on Grand Lake stating that she had lost a ring and received my name from one of her friends. Upon arrival I surveyed the area which was around a dock in 4 to 6 feet of water with a big rock type of bottom. So much for the sieve! Got...

Hit a local school yard/playing field with model remote planes buzzing over head. Sort of neat. Freedom 3 Plus was humming with the usual coins being located. Then this idiot tears through the school yard unto the playing field and stops his car having almost made me do the "dodo in your...

Took my house guest French Dave and his daughter out today for a combo dig. Lent him my backup machine the AT Pro as I swung the Freedom 3 Plus and Seahunter MK11. First stop was a playground with French Dave getting used to the Pro as I dug quota and a Nike silver ring. French Dave and his...

Had to laugh. I had become one of them. You know "them." Older folks who all they talk about is their ailments. Did a self analytical analysis and concluded I was indeed one of "them." A Freudian moment! With my house guests French Dave and his daughter Mary Rose off to the International...

Called my sister early this morning as I was going to take her to the beach....no answer and probably getting her beauty sleep. So I ducked out by myself and did a combo dig with combo machines...Pro in the water and Freedom 3 Plus on land. Quota was had with a nifty magnifying glass...

147 years young today!

Met up with Navy Davy at one of our favorite spots and did the dew. Sort of abandoned him after about 45 minutes and headed towards home stopping along the way to cross a few honey dew errands! After a quick stop home for a chow down headed out and finished off quota at a local park nabbing a...

My main machine the Freedom 3 Plus does not like wet weather so I decided to take out the Pro which has been back to Garrett 4 times. Hit a park and she was dead bang on with the modern clad. Then it was off to the "Button Hole." This is a lake that was drained to fix the dam. Navy Davy and...

Called Navy Davy and we himmed and hummed about going out. Not in the cards but after a few hours at home I was rearing to go. Out came the 3/4 wet suit, Seahunter Mk11 and the Freedom 3 Plus and away I went. Hit a local water spot that I had to myself and a few seagulls. They way they looked...

Great day for a swing and Navy Davy and I took full advantage of it that is till Nd's back gave out along with my shoulder and knee....great pair....Lord love a duck. Anyway find of the day was ND's silver necklace with a grad hat pendant. Navy Davy was short of quota by 14 coins and as...

After an early day shift needed a little swing to unwind. Hit a local school yard doing the drunken sailor grid with my Freedom 3 Plus. An hour later I was much sharper having found the bottom two items in the photo..............stress of the day gone!

Awoke at 1400hrs after a rather tame night shift at the halfway house. Looked outside.......loaded Otto and hit a local park! Ran my Freedom 3 Plus wide open as I struggled behind it to keep up. Low tide meant some toasty coppers and a nice surprise of a silver cougar quarter(First row 2nd...

An effervescent full moon hung lazily in the dark evening sky. It was surrounded by a hazy luminescent white ring. Lunacy prevailed. The Swinger of the White Orb of the House of Garrett was haunted by this sight. Was it an ominous sign? Sleep did not come easily that evening for the...

Garrett without a doubt as a company have kept up their great customer service....as for the machines they produce......well. Seems that the cost has gone up while the quality has gone down. Have spent enough on shipping and repairs to actually buy an Ace 250. Sad thing is the pro I will not...

Dedicated! That is what I am for going into work on a day off! Darn stupid if you ask me. Old schedule. Well the drive was nice. Scooted over to Burnside and picked up my Pro. Nice to have it home and I promptly stuck it in the bag with the amassed Freedom series machines. Grabbed my fav...
