Bone
10 Show and Hunt
The tenth
annual Best of the Northeast Treasure Hunters & Collectors
weekend will be held in Keene, NH from April 25-27, 2003. This
is your chance to enjoy an old New England town, see what others
are finding, see what new equipment is on the market, and enjoy
a treasure hunt at an old New Hampshire muster field. There is
the possibility that television's Today Show might be at the
Muster field to do a human-interest story.

Winter Blues |
What a winter. Snow and very, very cold. Not being able to
underwater or land treasure hunt makes me very unhappy and
miserable. I am about 70 miles from Long Island sound. I try to go
on my days off which are Mondays. I will go when I can catch the low
tide during the middle of the day. As of this writing, I have made
4 trips and I have found a piece of gold 3 out of 4 times. I
consider myself very lucky because these areas are heavily hunted
year round with the best of metal detectors and hunters. Recently,
I arrived at the beach about 10:45 am with the temperature at 13
and the wind chill below 0. I usually get out into the water and
use my Headhunter PI. Even
though this area is |
heavily hunted, I feel I have an edge because
our PI goes so deep. Today wasn’t going to be one of those days.
Wind chill was too low. I decided to use my Headhunter Diver and
work in the rocks as the tide was going out. In 4 hours I found 31
coins and 2 rings (1 Gold). I also found some pulltabs and lead,
but not that much junk. There were lots of hot rocks there, but it
was easy for me to ignore them because they give off their own
distinct signal. Most of the finds were made from 1" to about
8" or 9" deep. I had no problem with the salt water. The
Headhunter is a joy to use, light and easy... And of course, any
day you find a piece of gold is a great day.

Gary Storm

| Danny’s
115 Gold |
|
Dan
Yarruso has been treasure hunting for over 20 years.
He is an "all-around" treasure hunter. His main love
is wading in the water for Gold jewelry. This past year Danny
has found 115 pieces of gold.
He uses our Headhunter Diver and our Headhunter Pulse.
He likes them for their ease of use and sensitivity to gold. He
also likes to travel and has taken the Headhunters to the
islands.
|
They use up very little space in
his travels he tells us. His gold finds the last couple years
would make most treasure hunters jealous. Just look at the pile
of gold in the picture. Dan plans on retiring to Myrtle Beach
soon. If you wish to contact him, here is is E-mail address: dyarrusso@msn.com
Look out
South Carolina!

Why
so many different Headphones?
Once in awhile someone calls and says we have too many to chose
from. What is the best? My answer is always the same... Read all
the different options and see what set will meet your needs and
hearing requirements. We started in 1996 with the original
Gray Ghost. We continually strive to fit different customer
needs. We now have 12 different headphones. Like
different metal detectors, they all do the job, but you like the
way one works or it has an option you just need to have. Many of
our customers own several different models. If you have an
option you would like to see in a pair of headphones, let us
know. Maybe it would be something that will be useful and add to
our product line. Remember our headphones were made for metal
detectors and are backed up by a lifetime warranty.
We will be setting a
table up at the 2 shows listed at left. If you plan on
attending, please stop by our booth and say hello. |
