Have you ever tried metal detectors? Do they work?

I have, they do, but I don't currently own one unfortunately.

They do. I used my dads metal detector when I was about 8, dug a hole in the yard about 2’ in diameter & about 12” deep. I found a plowshare, also found out that Dad was not very impressed with my find and even less impressed by the crater in the yard.

I still don’t like metal detectors….

Oh, I’m sorry Thomas you were talking about metal detectors for logs weren’t you.

I was, but I loved your metal detector story. No apology needed

Morning metal detector lovers and haters. Oh and all the rest of you too. Even gubberment employees.

I have seen knife handles made with box elder and they we very nice.

Once finished the color ‘almost’ completely returned.

Thank goodness that you didn't place that info in the pro3 thread. At least a few of the twisted minds would have had a few extra comments for sure.

Must be I have been putting a little Jersey Cream in mine.

Good morning y'all.

Good black coffee is hard to beat. I tried Starbucks once 15 years ago

I've never had anything from Starbucks, just home made black....still doesn't do it for me.

At the end of coffee consumption, I'll switch it up sometimes and have what I call a mug of weekender coffee. A good bit of Irish cream added. But only on the last cup. Whats the saying a good shot makes the coffee go down (much quicker).

I've been selling junk on ebay since '09 I believe.
To date, we have sold around 20k items on there.
It definitely works, but I could tell some stories that would make your blood boil.....

Ebay's doctrine goes something like this;

Sellers are all liars & thieves, buyers are always right, and ebay is the supreme ruler of the universe.

Those few, inevitable bad experiences are what worries me. I'd make a lot more on saws on ebay than selling local but a couple scammers could cancel out that extra money. I'll probably just stick to local craigslist and Facebook. Craigslist is a lot of scammers and tire kickers though.

I like your way of thinking!

I've been happy with selling stuff here on ope, I don't get as much as I can on ebay but there's no selling fees, and if there is a problem it's easy to work it out with the buyer.
Ebay fees are around 20% so I can sell something here for 20% less and do just as well.....I figure even 25-30% less is still worth not dealing with ebay's garbage.
