No my daughter's car got broken into, smashed a window and pinched her purse. They did 6 people around our area in the same night. They case the joint by making out they are dropping pamphlets in letter boxes then come back at night and hit the ones they think are worthwhile.

Hiya all just an update on the old boiler tank i picked up a week ago at an auction,(saving it from the scrap yard) it arrived home this morning at 8am thanks to some top blokes who helped me out,thanks fellas,the boiler has a stamp on it "last tested 31/8/27 so im guessing she's an old girl,and in A1 nick i might add.............................nice wheels TenOunce those babies are pretty tough ;)

headsUp said:
that would have to date from around 1910 - 1930 as it predates welded boiler construction

even on scrap value it would pay for a semi trailer . is there a crane on site ?

LOL . do i win anything ?

licorice snake ?

gold stamp on my forehead even ?

:p if only i could fluke lotto too

ps modern boilers and pressure vessels would be tested every 10 years . dunno what the standard was back then but it might possibly have a build date of 1917

A NEL Sharpshooter for AT Pro and a bracket for the Pro Pointer turned up.

Just had to try it at the local boat ramp park for an hour and a half tonight.

Both work beautifully.......dug about the same amount of trash as coins within top 3 inches with the sensitivity set down to one.

Put the AT Pro standard coil next to it for comparison.

Looks the goods. I got an 8x5 coil for my AT Pro, it works real well. I hadn't seen the bracket for the pin pointer before, good idea.

B@$7@rds.. did she get her purse back. Such a pita getting cards replaced.
Hope you catch the turds on camera mate

Did that pointer come standard with an end cap(protector), or is that your own little addition ?
