Brenda Found gave a few words on her mother & fathers headstone. Robert William & Edith Bessie Kent's headstone has an engraved motif of two individuals metal detecting for these two individuals who loved to metal detecting. Brenda thank you for sharing!
Rob Cziraki - "Show and Tell" - Rob demonstrated a DetectorPro detector called a Pirate. The price of the Pirate is $350.00. This detector is unique in the fact that the controls are in the headphones and therefore the shaft is light weight and easy to maneuver. The other advantage is that since the controls are in the headphones you could use it at the beach in the water, however it is not a water detector you could wade in the water. Also, Rob mentioned that the Fisher "Gold Bug" would be coming out soon.
Dennis O'Reilly had spoken about a 1936 dot Penny that is up for auction, going for over three hundred thousand dollars.
