Time to Cool it!

Not much happening here in my neck of the woods and I’m still having trouble getting around. If you can don’t get old. It’s no fun at all…

Since we’re into the 100 degree days here in Texas here’s a throwback from 2014 that I hope you will take to heart….

Q & A with Adam Kearley

First heard about Adam Kearley when John Howland gave him a shoutout on his Detecting & Collecting blog. After watching a few of his videos I asked if he’d be kind enough to do a Q&A. He replied in the affirmative and here we are. Thank you Adam, appreciate it!

Be Cool…

Other than adding a bad knee to the mix nothing new and exciting happening to this tekkie. Here’s a throwback from March 2015! Stay safe and stay cool!

Q & A with Charles Gren…

Charles Gren and I know each other because of our love for all things French. The difference is he was born in France, grew up there and goes back often. In fact at this very moment Charles is in Carcassonne, probably having a nice glass of vin rouge or out digging up something very old and very cool.

Am I envious? Does a bear?

Remembering Old Haunts…

Now that I live in Texas and not able to get out detecting that much I find myself thinking about all the old haunts of years ago, most of them now extinct. I’ve probably mentioned them here before but since I’ve been labeled over the hill I’m allowed to be amnesic….

The Heat is On…

The “hot” has returned to Texas and while it’s not keeping me from detecting (my well beaten body does that) it has me in a funk. Too humid to venture out of the house and perusing cyberspace is the same ole. Same tekkies finding the good stuff, same tekkies cranking out videos like there’s no tomorrow and same topics, same answers on the forums.

Q & A with Stef Tanguay

I’ve never met Stef Tanguay but she somehow feels like an old friend. Her name and her finds are all over social media. Likewise Stef Digs, her YouTube channel boasts 2.82K subscribers. Thank you Stef for the taking the time to share your story.!!

Turning 80…

Well today I reached the ripe ole age of 80, and as Mickey Mantle once said “if I had known I’d live this long I have taken better care of myself”.

A Toast…

While you’re enjoying the holiday weekend remember to lift a glass and honor all the brave men and women who gave their lives so we could live free in this, the greatest country in the world…. 

Rainy Relapse…

Okay, we’ve had a week of rain and more rain and I’m busy building an Ark 600 from Ikea . Can’t afford the 800 model even though it comes with waterproof nails. Just don’t have the shekels. Anyway it’s Throwback Thursday. Here’s an old idea I had back in January of 2018 . Still think it has merit.
