Another Great Vid by The Chig

His videos are awesome. Here he talks about to remove the wood fuse from a Civil War shell. I just want to find one!

What Camera Do You Use?

I'm on the fence on whether to purchase a new camera for 2015. I currently use a GoPro Hero3 with the LCD display and a couple of batteries. However, I don't like the fact that there isn't any zoom and the microphone is a bit weak unless you are right up against the camera. Put on the watertight housing and forget the microphone because its horrible.The batteries don't last long either. Go out in the temperatures in the 30s and cut your 20mins down to 10.

Anyway, which one do you all use? I've looked into the Olympus TG-2 and 3. I've seen some YouTube videos made with the Olympus TG cameras and the video seems clear. I need a camera to be waterproof, long battery life, image stability and zoom in capability. I'm curious on your suggestions.

Finally a Waterproof Pin-Pointer by Garrett

I'm sure many of you have heard about this already so this is probably old news but I'm itching to get my hands on one of these. Its made by Garrett and they are calling it the Pro-Pointer AT. Its submersible up to 10ft. They have a field test video out now as well as an independent review. If any of you are lucky enough to have one of these already then I want to hear your thoughts.  Leave a comment below or shoot me an email mentalmetal314@gmail.com.

If you don't want to wait for the new Garrett and want to waterproof the one you have, here are some ideas that failed and one that worked.

The Weather Continues To Stink But...

Well here it is Jan 23rd 2015 and a winter storm is looming here in Maryland. Snow accumulations won't be too bad but it just sets us back another week of detecting. But even if the snow melts quickly, the ground will still be frozen and hard break through. Lets face it, for us dirt diggers this isn't our favorite time of the year. But all is not lost.

A Lost Mining Town "The Sequel"

Yes we did. We went back! The original video I posted early last spring "Finding a Lost Mining Town" has received so many views 85k+ (compared to my other videos) and a lot you were asking if we were ever going to go back so we did. Thanks for the encouragement!
