Nice Surprise!

I received a nice surprise in today's mail.  I have been aching for a metal detector for a couple of years (even though I was housebound at the time).  I'm not housebound now, but on a small disability stipend, metal detectors aren't exactly a "must-have" item.  Well, my sister and her husband, who live in Utah, surprised me with a metal detector!  It came in today's mail, and it looks like a good one, not one of the cheap kind that don't work very well.  I can't wait to try it out, perhaps we have a treasure chest full of loot underneath the grass in the yard!  Sometimes when you think you can't stand your siblings just one more minute, they up and do something extra nice like this!

Hey Kix,

That is awesome! I have always wanted a metal detector. Let us know if you find any good jewels!!

How fun, what a great surprise! I always thought that would be cool to play with.

hi kix! how cool is that? i think a metal detector would be quite an entertaining gadget.  if one of my siblings did something that unexpected and nice for me, well, someone would have to pick me up off the ground. have fun with it. deb

WELL, IF WE DONT HEAR FROM YOU BY MONDAYS WEIGH IN WE WILL KNOW YOU HIT THE JACKPOT IN THE BACK YARD! LOL HAPPY HUNTING TO YOU.... OH YEAH, AND BY THE WAY.... THINK OF THE LIL PEOPLE WHEN YA HIT IT BIG! HUGS MARGE

We got my uncle one a few years ago - he found giant empty metal tank in on their property - I don't know if he ever found money.  I hope you have lots of fun with it, and its nice to know sometimes siblings are good for something! :)

I work at a historic performing arts theatre and we are undergoing renovation and expansion right now.  It's located in the downtown area.  The theatre was built in 1925.  Anyway, the other day when I was leaving the Y, I saw a huge mountain of dirt under the interstate and there were people all over it with their detectors.  The looked like ants because the pile is so huge.   Somehow we got to talking about the dirt that they had removed to make way for a larger orchestra pit, and I asked him where the dirt went.  That was the huge pile that I saw under the interstate!   They didn't find anything in that dirt though.  I'll bet those guys are expecting to find something.  

Good Luck with the treasure chest of loot in the grassy yard! lol   My son got one for christmas and he has found coins spoons and rocks of gold lol   ....It is a fun Hobby we have all had alot of fun with it...and its something fun to do without sitting in front of the T.V....Something my whole family can benefit from..... Have Fun!  Estelle
