Did Mental Go Mental? Where Did He Go?

OK its time to get back to business with the blog. My apologies for not posting in a long time but I've been a little busy with a lot of things. Work, life, family, detecting...etc. I've been devoting a lot time to my YouTube channel and I've put a lot of new videos up over the last couple of months to include 2016 recaps of my favorite land and water hunts so stop on over and check them out. Here is Part II A Recap of 2016 Favorite Water Hunts.

Have I been Detecting recently? Yes I've been doing some detecting in 2017. The weather has been relatively warm for January and February here in Maryland so a lot of us are taking advantage of it. I'll be out again this coming weekend. I recently acquired a new permission from a really old farm. It dates back to at least 1850 but we believe its a lot older than that. I've already prospected a little and dug up a large cent (1837) and Virginia half penny (1773-1774). Here is a link to one of the videos from this permission. I'll have more updates on this property in the near future.

Any new gear? Well yes I do have some new/used gear. I recently got selected to participate in the Diggin' in Virginia 37 hunt in Culpper, VA. I picked up a used Whites TDI Pulse Induction machine for the 3 day hunt. My budget didn't quite get me the Minelab GPX 5000 but maybe by the fall Ill be able to save up for it. They aren't exactly cheap.

I also picked up the Garrett Z-Lynk Wireless System to try with my AT Pro and the White's TDI.

(Spoiler alert!) 

The Z-Lynk system works amazing and I highly recommend it if you want to free yourself from being attached to your machine by your headphone wire. I'll have more information about it in one of my upcoming videos. Good luck finding one of these now. They are all on back order from what I've been told. I was lucky and got mine.

That's all for now. See you at the next update. VERY SOON!
