Feeling Grateful…

Finally got my first covid shot yesterday and if all goes well will get the second (booster) on the 17^th. Was very impressed with the Baylor/Scott & White handling of the process. Fay and I were in and out of there in less than an hour and everyone involved was friendly and professional.

Beside the worldwide shortage/availability of doses I worry that too many people are not going to even bother getting vaccinated. Either they’re leery of it working or stubborn and stupid about needing it.  If you happen to fall into either category please read up, study up, wise up! Be part of the solution and not the problem. Otherwise we may never beat this thing. 

Old Homesites – Old Notes

While working on the new book I skimmed through old notes/writings that were part of my older books and decided to share a few tips on hunting homesites.  Nothing new or earthshattering and I’m pretty sure I’ve shared these here over the past 9 years, but if by chance they help one or two of you then they’re worth repeating. Stay safe…

If however you’re a die-hard carnivore and live in my neck of the woods this place is still smokin’ (and drawing crowds)…..

Metal Detecting 2021

Well I gave my tongue in cheek predictions for this year way back in August. Here’s my more serious😊, foot in mouth outlook –

2021 – What’s Coming?

Well my first response would be “given what happened in 2020 who the hell knows?”. The times they are a changing and not necessarily for the good. I’ll be 80 this year and I’ve never seen anything like it.

Oh the Places You’ll Go!You Used to Go!

Last night I was checking out a forum and saw an all too familiar post that said – “thanks for the ad. I’m a real beginner at all this and wondering where’s the best place to go to learn my detector and start finding things”? And of course the responses where what you’d expect – “start in your backyard”, “head to the closest tot lot, school”, “make a test garden”, etc..
