Live Stream: Off The Cuff Metal Detecting Hangout

We had a great show last night.

I tried some "extremely hot" cheetos and sipped some Crown Royal.

We received some phone calls from viewers and showed some wicked photos on the "show & tell" segment.

As always, we gave away some stickers and a coin.

Did you miss the stream?  You can always watch the replay, however join us live one day.

"Off The Cuff" is seen live on Thursday at 7:30pm eastern and "Coffee With Liz" goes live every Sunday morning at 10:00am eastern.

See you next time :)

New video release: UP IN SMOKE

Digger Kelly and I attended a new park on the west mountain.

We found an assortment of relics, met some very nice high school students, as well as encountered the wafting aroma of 'the herb'.

All in all it made for a fun video.

Until next time, KEEP IT REAL and GO DIG !!!

New video: SPOTLIGHT: CT RELIC DIGGER

Today I am spotlighting CT Relic Digger from the state of Connecticut.

Exploring colonial cellar holes is the focus of this channel.

Enjoy.

Until next time, KEEP IT REAL and GO DIG !!

Video Release: DIGGERS WITH TATTOOS

This is the premiere of "Diggers With Tattoos".  I showcase tattoos with some classic rock music in the background :-)

If you are a digger, and you have a tattoo, or two, or three - share your tattoo with other diggers.

Due to tremendous response, volume two is in the works.

Until next time,  KEEP IT REAL

STELLA SNOW STORM / BLIZZARD

Old man winter is not ready to relinquish his hold on the weather.

Behold STELLA.  A late winter storm pounding the north east.

We received 30cms / 12 inches of snow yesterday.  Today the wind is blowing it around.

Wiarton Willie (the Canadian prognosticating rodent) predicted an early spring.  I beg to differ.

I have had enough of snow and am looking forward to warmth and metal detecting.

I hope you are all save and come out of this blizzard unscathed.

Until next time,  KEEP IT REAL.

SHOUT OUT SPOTLIGHT: BirdDogg

I was watching the BirdDogg Show while enjoying my morning cup of coffee.

To my surprise I heard Chris say "Digging Canuck".

I WAS BLOWN AWAY.

Thank you BirdDogg (aka Chris).

Made my day :-)

Until next time, KEEP IT REAL.

YOU MAY BE MISSING OUT: YOUTUBE BUG

You may be missing out on content if you are not an engaged viewer.

The YouTube bug is removing views and subs of those accounts it deems to be "Bots".

A lot of viewers simply watch a video and never leave a thumbs up or comment.

WRONG !!!!!

In the very least leave a thumbs up because it shows YouTube that you are indeed a human being.

I lost 500 views in one evening !!!  Absolutely gutted !!!

Please take a moment and go to the page of those you enjoy watching.  Click the bell.  From now on, leave some sort of comment or thumbs up.

Your content provider will be appreciative and you won't find yourself suddenly unsubscribed.

Until next time KEEP IT REAL.

TUESDAY VIDEO RELEASE: FINALLY ON THE BOARD

It's Tuesday, and that means a video release.

Today's video is called "FINALLY ON THE BOARD"

It is a compilation of 3 metal detecting hunts, over the Remembrance Day week.

Among other things, I found my very first musketball.  

Viewers of my YouTube channel will remember that my digging buddy Kelly has 5.  

Well, I have one now !!!!!

I hope you enjoy the video.  There is a little tribute to the Canadian Armed Forces at the end.  Lest we forget.

Until next time, keep it real.

MISSION 500 SUBSCRIBERS

MISSION 500 SUBSCRIBERS

Your mission, which I hope you accept, is to help me get to 500 subscribers !!!!!

I am at 162, and I could not have come this far without my viewers.

I thoroughly enjoy metal detecting.  In fact, it is the BEST hobby on the planet.

I really enjoy creating my YouTube videos.  So, let's get to 500 subscribers together !!!!!

Once the milestone is reached, I will be drawing for a 1oz silver Canadian Maple Leaf.

So there you have it.  I hope you accept the mission 😃

By the way, do you like my new avatar?  I'm trying to get it to look like me.

1st Installment of MAIL CALL (I open viewers mail)

It was inevitable.  I received my first viewer package in the mail.

THANK YOU to Rick (aka Carolinacheapo Diggin).  Check out his YouTube channel: Carolinacheapo Diggin

A while back he posted a video in which he dug up a "Canada Dry" lighter.  I thought it was pretty cool, so I commented on his video.  Well, he sent it to me !!!

I was thrilled, and you can see my honest emotions in my video.

If you would like to send something my way, please do.  I will be acknowledging each parcel/letter in a future "MAIL CALL" video.  

I promise to send you a little piece of Canada in return.

Well, the weather is supposed to be balmy this weekend (10 degrees C).  I may just get out and do some detecting.

Until next time, KEEP IT REAL.

NEW DETECTOR: WHITES MX5

NEW METAL DETECTOR 😀

I have added a new metal detector to my arsenal.  Say hello to the WHITES MX5.

The MX5 is a versatile detector that can be used almost anywhere - with both a general purpose Coin mode and a Beach mode that allows ground tracking even in wet salt sand.

Here are some highlights according to Big Boys Hobbies:

• Adjustable Notch Discrimination
• Automatic Ground Balance with AutoTrac®
• Backlit Display
• Beach Mode
• Coin/Jewelry Mode
• Depth Reading
• Lighweight
• On/OFF Button
• Salt and Freshwater
• Tone ID
• Two-year Parts and Labor Warranty
• Waterproof 9" Spider Coil

Here is a closer look at the display:

The full specifications are listed here:

• Audio Output: Speaker & 1/4" Headphone
• Batteries: 8 "AA"
• Battery Life: 20
• Optional Coils: Eclipse Family
• Standard Coil: 9"
• Frequency: 14

This unit retails for $719 plus tax in Canada.  However I purchased it for a phenomenal price from an estate sale.  It was never been used, and apart from the original box that is missing - it is complete.  It came with 8 Duracell rechargeable batteries.  I use the same batteries in my Garrett AT Pro and have found them to long lasting between charges.

I have not had the opportunity to swing this detector yet and am looking forward to the first hunt of the spring.  No doubt that between the MX5 and the AT Pro, I should be able to thoroughly search most sites.
