    Merry Christmas!! So far, I've gotten some accessories for my F-150 XMOD, the Mustang XMOD, some clothes for work (which I badly needed), and I am buying new parts for my computer (if you can't tell from my hardware posts) and giving my old parts (which aren't even a year old yet) to the fiancee.

    OH, we are finally getting of dialup wednesday too! That was her big present to me.

    It's much better to find lugnuts with the metal detector before you find them with the mower. e500's nice, what kinda metal detector did you wind up with? you gonna go head out to the beach once n a while, get one of them solid gold jewelry boxes or some pieces of 8?

    I lost the lugs quite a ways back; I mow high enough that the mower won't wank them but it just irks me that I can't find them. The detector is a Bounty Hunter QuickSilver. It's fairly good for it's price range and not too complex to operate.

    Counting the days until we see F1 in a metal detector infomercial on late night TV, showing off the $1000's of dollars worth of jewelery he has found on the beach in Florida.

    At least your mower had lug nuts, mine actually has bent nails in the place of cotter pins to hold the wheels on. It's a 20yr old riding mower that I don't really need, but it backfires and smokes so much that I actually get a kick out of using it to mow my lawn. No real reason I haven't fixed it, except that it's worked for years and if it ain't broke, I'm the last person to fix it.

    My favorite treasure find, although it wasn't with a metal detector, I used a sieve to recover this one for the guy that lost it.. 500 dollar reward was being offered, only got 80 bucks LOL. Before returning it I took it to a jeweler for an apraisal, the jeweler said if it was a real ruby due to the quality and color, something like 13k-15k per karat and such a big stone with a heavy wrapping of 24k gold.
