I bought a new expensive metal detector that can go underwater.

well in the first 2 weeks sound died.
sent off, got fixed, worked great 1 time, THEN this trip to detect....darn thing is having sound problems again.

2 times now within 1 month of buying it.

I am so super frustrated I can't tell ya :lol:

THIS IS THE LAST fix. if it is not right and one darn thing goes wrong it will be returned for good.



and I bought this specifically for my beach trips coming up. Since I love this detecting so much, if this possible piece of expensive junk screws me over on these trips I will hunt someone down and hurt them :p


oh well....just venting cause I can.


plus I hit the tot lot today and of course found out my sound died again. :( but I hunted for a bit and found 12 cents....whoopee....but then I slide my hand down my Lesche. WOW the blood. this thing is a digging dagger and sharp as can be. blood all around LOL good thing I carry water and paper towels in my SUV. so once bleeding I said screw it and left.




I tell ya my head is going to explode. HAHA

good gravy life runs too fast.



but leaving in a few hours for a quick weekend of camping in the new 5th. want to be sure it all works on this thing before my big beach trips.

taking kiddos friend and the 2 of them should have a blast. only 1 hr 15 min. drive. river swim with beach, diving boards, waterslides. kids will be in their glory for sure and super tired when we get home sunday afternoon.

Had a great weekend camping trip. kiddos friend was very nice and easy to deal with...she will be invited back for another adventure.


camper water system (tankless water heater) didn't perform well at all. Camper goes back to dealer tomorrow. Shower pressure non existent and scalding water and more. Horrible systrem. they best fix it to my satisfaction.


but the river was nice, COLD water but we had fun. kids did mini golf and tons of trips up and down the water slide. they had a blast.


other than water system, 2 cabinets have to be adjusted. that is it. So not too bad on the new camper. Worst case I can get a regular hot water tank to replace the tankless cause to me it seems like a very crappy and low performance system. But will deal with dealer on that.

ugh.


but fun was had by all. even the dog! :)

Cool beans! I've always wanted to play around with a metal detector. I've seen people using them in playgrounds and finding some change. I'd probably find a lot of stuff around the house, being as it's old and we've already found several cool things just tilling the garden.

I saw someone using one in a field today. I really felt like stopping and asking him if he had found anything, but he was too far off the road.

the metal detecting is so much fun. only I enjoy it in the family. no one else has the bug. It truly is a real hobby for me and just love treasure hunting. when we hit our beach trips it is my thing. hubby surf fishes, kiddo plays and I detect. we all have a blast.


good thing is my detector having sound troubles, it did it again after they fixed it. I returned it again. waiting on it to come back. they said this time they are replacing the entire guts in it and I will have a 'brand' new detector coming back this time. which is great cause the darn thing was expensive and I was worried. any electronics drive me nutso. you always wonder when they will die on ya lol

but I am hoping big time this fix is it on this machine.

have to point blank brag on my kid

she got the Principal's Award. best in class. truly she deserves it, kinda scary how smart she is but that is good thing considering how tough this future world will be for all our young people out there.



she got her award this morning. so proud of her. only 1st grade, got all S++ ++makes me smile cause it means she is well above her grade. teacher said she is reading 3rd grade levels easily.



my goodness school was packed. I mean packed. had to walk a million miles after parking :)



1/2 day and she is done with school tomorrow. on summer vacation.



camper in shop. getting that tankless water system changed over to old fashioned hot water heater tank. screw this tankless. horrible to deal with. I want the proven system :) good thing is all covered under warranty. my couch was scratched, they ordered me a new one, came in wrong size. no biggie. back on order, will eventually get it. under warranty also. I love having stuff done that costs nothing :)


hope to get it back on the 12th cause I have to load and we leave the 17 for our long beach trip.


so busy, so much to do.....off to get a million things done

hope everyone is doing well!!!!
