Keywords…

I know most all of you use Google to research and find new places to detect. It is without a doubt the best search engine out there.  I am also guessing you pretty much do what I do and that is type in the name of my town, county or state and then add keywords like schools, churches, parks, history, etc..  Anyway let me suggest a few more words you might try. 

Bubba’s Turn…

JOHN HOWLAND ON GROUNDBALANCING

Yours truly has not been out and about for a few days but John Howland has been and sent along a tip or two on ground balancing your AT Pro or AT Gold detector.  He also offers up a few things to ponder with regards to the European Union which is currently going through a few ups and downs. Thanks John….

John Winter…don’t go!

Apparently John Winter has decided to put aside his blog writing for awhile and that saddens me.  I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to do the same thing but it was always John who beat me up and down and got me back on track. 

While you are celebrating this weekend please remember why!

We celebrate Memorial Day to honor all the brave men and women who gave their lives so we could live free in this the greatest country in the world.  Thanks to them you will be enjoying that cookout, family get-together, parade, fireworks, whatever….they will not! 

Old Homesites…

Since I can’t wow you with my recent finds (there aren’t any) I will baffle you with bullshit and share part of an update to a book I have been working on. You can take what I say with a grain of salt if you like, but a better choice would be a sip or two of a nice single malt scotch.   Just sayin…

Monday Morning Brainfarts

It’s not unusual to get spam comments on my blog. Most of them are attempts to get you to click on their link and buy whatever it is they are selling. Every once in a while  you get one that is so obvious you have to laugh, like this comment I got this morning from “Where Can I Find Cheap Car Insurance”….

Damn Glad I Asked…

About two weeks ago Fay and I were on our way to social gathering, and I noticed an old abandoned house situated on about two acres of land. It looked reasonably old as did the couple of outbuildings in back.  The next day I tried to look it up on DCAD but because I didn’t have the exact rural address (box number) I was unable to locate the owner.  So yesterday I decided to drive out there again, hoping to talk to a neighbor or at least see if come up with the box number.

Will I Ever Get With It?

Was visiting one of my favorite Facebook sites yesterday and saw where a good friend had just invested in a pair of snakeguard boots.  A wise idea I suppose given his frequent expeditions into the hinterland.  He told me that they set him back $190, which of course of blew my mind.

If I Had Listened to Others…

Over the years you detect a lot sites, and of course those you remember most are those that resulted in as lot of great finds.  I was reminded of one of my favorites when a friend forwarded this recent YouTube video.

A Special Day…

If you are looking for tekkie stuff today you are in the wrong place. Today is Mother’s Day and we all should be with them, either in person or in thought.  My Mom passed away a couple of years ago and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of her.
