  1. As a veterinarian I've always wondered why a parrot can live to 70 years but a dog's life expectancy is 10-15 years. My only explanation is that it's gods curse on man. Sort of like a punishment that we deserve for all the bad things that Man does as a race. Dogs are truly "Mans Best Friend" Some of the hardest things I've had to do is put down dogs, Police dogs, little old ladies dogs, and truckers who take their dogs with them all over the USA are the hardest. I had hunting dogs as a kid and when I started college I gave them away to people that would would be able to take them out and let them do what they loved to do. At the time I thought It was the right thing to do for them, It hurt me so much to say good bye that I waited 30 years before I got another dog. My new little pal is with me 24/7 he goes to work with me every day, he goes out looking for nuggets/coins and jewelry with me. It's scary to think about what life would be like without him. Thanks for sharing your stories and photos of your "Best Friends" They deserve all the attention and love we can give them. strick

  8. Seriously, a multi thousand dollar detector that does not come with a real nice hard case is kinda an insult....but I bent over and bought one any way... strick
  9. Happy birthday Doc I'm two days before you but your 14 years before me. Have a great B day! strick
  10. Well I can say that I have not regretted buying a ctx 3030. I do not go diving with it but hunt in waist deep water all the time. It's nice to be able to rinse it off with the garden hose after a dirty day of detecting. It is perfectly balanced with the stock coil and crazy light with the small coil. It is nose heavy with the large coil. I have all three. I have found lots of cool things with it in the 6 months that I have owned it. Gold, silver, relics. There is really nothing else to say that has not already been said on all the forums about the 3030. If you have any specific questions about it PM me. strick
  11. CTX 3030 has everything you require plus more that you will like such as target trace. strick
  12. Hey Doc it could have been worse.....when I woke up from my colonoscopy there was a box of chocolates and a dozed roses with a card from my doctor by my bed! strick

  14. Thanks Doc for taking the time to create that video. Very informative. strick
