That made me laugh out loud...

Glad your feeling better, I went through some tuff times a couple of years ago when I found out I had a brain tumor and had to have brain surgery. Fortunately for me I kept all my gear, lol. Still can't seem to get my mojo back but I'm not giving up.. Have fun with all your new toys!

Submit for reimbursement from your medical insurance. It's physical therapy, or rehab or something, right?

Seriously, tho, welcome back, and enjoy the new toys!

Tank, gas, tungsten, rods, electrical another $600 ouch!

Just be glad you are in Nth America.
Over here to buy what you have just bought they would be deciding if you could live with no kidneys or how much of your liver you need to live. Think 2 to 3 times whatever you just paid.

If I lived over there I'd be out in the bush with a metal detector digging up your GOLD nuggets!! Guy's here's how you lessen the pain of spending sprees like this, you go dig up this stuff

Wow...what's your secret? I have been a metal detector for 35 years and have only found 2 gold rings in all that time. I use a MineLab Etrac...what do you use? The Etrac is generally considered the best detector on the market but sucks at finding gold. Depending o the carat weight, gold rings up anywhere from a nickel to a Indian head penny on my machine so I pass it up for silver. Wish I could pay for my equipment with metal detecting spoils

Explorer SE Pro, the Etrac is absolutely the wrong machine for gold. Or these Spanish 8 reales from a 1700's shipwreck...

From what I understand, none of MineLabs recreational machines are good for gold, especially gold chain. I hear Tesoro beep and digs will run rings around any Minelab. I thought the Excalibur was the only machine you could dive with. Nevermind.. I google searched the picture and it explains it. I had an SE Pro and a Safari and sold them both for the Etrac. Never looked back but I have an ATPro I have been gonna take out one of these days. What coil do you use for beach hunting? I know ML's stock coils suck in the sand and salt water I use an NEL Sharpshooter most of the time and an SEF 6x8...what should I use on the beaches?

It's not in our nature to do half way. We can't get away wig half way in this field. It could kill someone. Or leave someone unoffended or leave someone who hasn't laughed enough

I was gonna say, with Nail around no thread is safe and no thread will ever get back on the rails after he so graciously derailed it.

And I am usually innocent of steering a thread...
