If you don't mind me asking, what detector do you use? Since I am retiring in short order, I have been thinking about getting into this and have seen some favorable reviews for the Garrett ACE 250 and ACE 350.

I have a couple of favorites John but they're all very capable once learned. Of the two you've mentioned, I'd go with the Ace 350. You'd soon be wishing for the better unit if you hadn't done so from the onset. It's also not a bad idea to consider a quality used machine. I'll PM you later today with a few suggestions. But the Garrett's you speak of are both very decent and equally as important, they're lightweight. I use the Explorer Se Pro (Minelab) and a Whites MXT ... both with huge (and somewhat heavy) aftermarket coils. I just practically "gave away" a 3rd Whites MXT that I wasn't using a month ago for $200. I'll PM you later today. Gettin' ready to head out :)

Hmm...is that so?

maybe it's better put this way...it's a sort of electrical generator.
it converts mechanical energy to electrical energy.
that's why, if the alternator is bad, the battery won't recharge and it'll die.
at least...i think that's right? :)

Yeah, that's as close as we need to get to know the purpose of an alternator. (In years past, the part of the car that did the same thing, more or less, was actually called a "generator.")

I have to be an early bird...

It's called going to work...

Even saturdays I get up early, once the sun is up... so am I. It's always been like that.. I have always been an early riser.

But that doesn't mean I don't like my COFFEE in the morning.... It just helps put me in a good mood lol...
