It finally stopped raining for a minute, so I head out to go exploring a new creek, never know what you'll find :-)

Really didn't get much accomplished, just trying to protect the farm and the chickens from a winter that refuses to die. BUT the Baby chickens are doing great, growing like crazy

Bet you thought I wasn't gonna finish this!
Mr. Bill Mods from the man himself:
"
Seeing that I have got out of the metal detecting busness. I thought I would pass this on to you all.
Be very carefull unsoldering the componets. Distroying the circuit traces is very easy to do.
Remove VR1 Trimmer off the board. Replace with a 50k linear taper, single turn potentiometer.
Remove VR4 trimmer off the board replacing it with a 100k linear taper, single turn potentiometer.
Mount these potentiometer’s externally on the top of the case.
Replace resistor R24 with a 2.2 Meg. You could have either a 470k or a 1.5 Meg there depending on when the unit was manufactured.
Check resistor R7. If it’s not a 51 ohm resistor, replace it with one of that value. It’s most likely a 100 ohm from factory. Later manufactured units had 51 ohms.
For potentiometer wiring, I use flat multi wire such as type used in computers for component connection to the board. I cut a 2 wire, 7.5” piece for the 50k ground balance pot, and a 3 wire 7.5” one for the 100k threshold pot. I secure these wires with a wire tie to the head phone & speaker wire near the connectors. I used one other wire tie to secure the pot wires together up near the pots.
Caution. Be sure that the pot closest to the end of the case doesn’t short out against the installed board components.
S.A.T changes. R32 220k resistor can be changed out. Raising the value slows the SAT. I have been installing a 375k running it through a toggle switch with the 220k. Giving a high & low setting of the SAT. One could use a potentiometer for variable results.
If your detector uses a ID meter, open the meter case, and replace resistor R28 (3.9 meg) with a 10 meg resistor. This aids in increasing the meter response depth. "
Spent the whole day finishing up the Mr. Bill mods on my old IDX...and did I fuck it up? Watch the video and find out!

Epic Days! Over the summer Blackriverfossils took me fossil hunting for shark teeth at a secret hunt site...I couldn't post the video then until the construction was done, but finally I can release it!
SUBSCRIBE to BLACKRIVERFOSSILS! https://www.youtube.com/user/blackriverfossils
The BEST Fossil hunt channel on youtube!
BUT that's not all folks! We get to see Angela (Reddielocks) live on cam! I thought she deserved an early xmas present for the hilarious audio work on the last video!

http://atjim.com Hey hit the auction site! Sell your cool treasures or buy someone's else junk! Fun for all.
This is some footage from last week on the sweet new site I found for shark's teeth. Since the sun has finally returned and next week look AWESOME for hunting I had to mod the G2 :-) waterproof-ish now...very weird. The cheapest metal detector mod ever!

despite the 100+ temps this weekend, we spent a little time digging into the new RV, to see what it's really made of.
The results are pretty surprising, despite the crazy low price, the list of repairs this truck needs is fairly short and not overly expensive...well within expectations of the project.
In short, got a damn nice ride, a mini house on wheels that CAN get up and go, gotta love the possibilities!
ALL MY NEIGHBORS PLEASE READ: I am NOT, repeat NOT moving, quit calling my landlord to rent this place, it's still mine. :-)

I started out another new pop song, to screw it up royally...but once I got rolling on the chord pattern, I realized...I've heard this song before, just can't quite place the name, can you?
