Dave, yeah, actually I have two metal detectors. I've got a Garrett AT Gold, and I have a Weitz V3I. And the V3I is the crème de la crème of metal detectors. And I think anybody who is a metal detector enthusiast who could, I think they'd probably have a tendency to agree if they knew what type of metal detector that was. It basically will tell you what's in the ground, whether or not it's worth digging up or not. So it has a lot of discrimination circuitry, and it's got oscilloscopes, and it's got all sorts of belts and whistles built into it. So it's definitely a high-end metal detector. But you know what? I just got it here recently, so I haven't had much in the way of any time to be able to practice with it there. But I like to take the time and go into doing some ghost towns. We got a lot of Western ghost towns out here. I like to take that metal detector out and go around in some of those areas and try my luck at it. Or any place that I could ever go, I always, always, always, always try and make sure that I get permission from the landowner, the property owner, or whoever is in control of that property before I ever consider going in and digging, because that is proper etiquette for sure. Of course, I can't go on national parks, land, or anything, because all that is a big no-no. Don't even touch up to try to ask, because it'll shoot you down quicker than you can even get close to even thinking about asking. So yeah, I'd like to get up and bring this thing to the east coast. I've been watching too many pirate movies, I'm told here. You probably heard the ping anyway. So, but yeah, I want to get to the east coast and try my luck and see if I can find some of those coins that I have in my colonial collection. That would be really nice, most of what I have. I've purchased it here since I became interested in coin collecting back in 1965. So that's how far back my coin hobby goes. So I have quite a large abundance of coins, mostly US coins. I do have foreign coins. I got quite a bit of those. My mother was a foreign coin collector, and I inherited her collection. And so, but I never really look at those coins much, because I'm too fascinated with the collection that I have that I've been collecting since 1965. Anyway, so there it is. So yeah, metal detecting, absolutely another one of my hobbies there. Okay, listen, I'll go ahead and get out of here once and for all. Thanks again, Dave. Have a good day. JI5WZA, I'll be once again standing by and listening. Take care.
