Hi Evan, have you been watching it pal ?, me and the wife have :).
I have indeed Buddy ..
Sadly ..although I find it entertaining ..
..it also reminds me of too much of my own detecting days ..
The Comradery ..and yet isolation in the field..
The Euphoria of the 'possible'..and the occasional success..
The Heartache and disappointment of digging thousands of holes only to reveal modern crap..
The tales told over a pint with like minded souls...etc
The Desire to walk those fields again ..denied me by my affliction..
Especially atm as I'm not even fit enough to climb ladders and play with dishes..

Hi Evan. yes pal we can relate to most things apart from the baby monitor :-lol, hope your feeling better soon pal, next year when it warms up you will have to pop over and have a steady day with me :), as soon as you see the land I have permission for (mile after mile of prime detecting land:)) all your aches and pains will disappear hopefully:), I might even take you on my private estate permission i have, I can detect fish and shoot on the estate :).

So ..not strictly metal detecting ...but another heads up for anyone interested ..
The Curse of Oak Island is back on the History Channel for a 3rd season ..
Now 'that's' a mystery ...and a helluva challenge ..
;)

Brothers dig up ‘scary stuff’ on The Curse of Oak Island

..and apparently a catch-up marathon to be had starting Sunday ..
Set your recorders ..you wont be disappointed..
