American Digger magazine Relic Round up Radio Show

7/29/2014

0 Comments

 
A huge thank you goes out to Mr. Butch Holcombe and Jeff Lubbert for having me on as a guest on their great radio program last night. I can't say enough for what these gentleman have and continue to do for the hobby and it was a honor and a privilege to be invited to be on with them.
I was overwhelmed with the level of support and encouragement from everyone that listened in and from the hosts themselves.  Folks need to really appreciate the people that give so much to this hobby like Butch, Anita and Jeff. Putting together the world class magazine and a weekly radio show is a huge time commitment and they do it for all of us in the hobby.

For those that didn't catch the show live, you can listen to it and all of their shows (HERE), or by searching "Relic Roundup" on Itunes.

I highly encourage any and every person in this hobby to subscribe to American Digger Magazine.
And if you like to read funny metal detecting stories, check out Butch's books on Amazon "Never Mace a skunk" parts one and two (HERE). They are knee slapping, laugh out loud stories from the field.

The first Personalized Tether Order

7/29/2014

YIPPIE!!!   I received the first order for a personalized Tether yesterday.
 The fellow wanted an orange one and he wanted it printed with "COLONEL WILLIAMS" on it. 
Come to find out, this "COLONEL WILLIAMS" is none other than THE Richard Williams; famous civil war historian, author  and avid metal detectorist.  Check out his books on amazon (HERE).
I just downloaded the kindle version of "Lexington, Virginia and the Civil War". 
Thank you Richard for the order and for all that you do for this hobby.

Prop those cool civil war bullets up so people can appreciate them in these unique Tension clamping displays.  Coins are boring when they are in a standard coin card, prop them up at a nice viewing angle.

Clam Shell design Camera mount

7/27/2014

The current camera mount design is good for most detectors. It does require a screw driver to install and or to adjust the position. This usually is not an issue. I have not moved mine on the T2 in over a year. The 360 degree swivel tripod head gives great adjustablilty of the camera to get that perfect recording angle.
Some one wanted a camera mount to fit the XP Deus. If you clamp something on the Deus shaft permanently, you will not be able to collapse the Deus for transport.  I like the fact that you can quickly collapse the Deus down to such a small size.
So I designed this clam shell type camera mount that you can loosen very quickly which will allow the Deus shaft to collapse as designed.
Now if I could just get my hands on a Deus so I can test it out....
