    I keep salt water aquariums.

    I currently have several reef tanks, like this:



    I also have a few octopi, one being a blue ring which is a pretty interesting little octopus.

    I have several salt water sharks, a small black tip reef shark that is starting to get too big, I'll probably have to donate him to a large marine aquarium or Marine World or something along those lines. I also raise and breed epaulette sharks, I have a few leopard sharks and even a woebegone along with a few rays and skates.

    I have been keeping salt water aquariums since 1987, if anyone is interested in this type of hobby, I would be more than happy to help.

    Harassing the wife, annoying the dogs, emptying the traveling cooler, an some gaming here an there. oh an I find time here and there to read, read, read some more, an chill out listening to music while enjoying the frosty beverages of the cooler.

    An scrapping, it's a hobby, it's a job, it's life!

    Are those muzzle loader bullets actual civil war era or just newer ones from people going hunting with vintage muzzle loaders?

    a good beginner detector is in the $200-$400 range, mine was about $300 with everything, it seems to me like the detectors that use 2 9 volt batteries have deeper ground penetration

    I have thought about going metal detecting around the old mines in Northern California, there are so many spots, and people seem to be finding precious metals on a fairly regular basis. But I know nothing about metal detecting at all, and would be totally lost.

    Not to mention I just don't have the time right now.

    I'm also envious of those of you who live in places where you can go metal detecting and find all those really cool items that are so old. The East Coast seems like it would be a lot of fun to go metal detecting on the weekends.

    You guys can come root around my sandbar. Just think of the things you could find!

    It's not called the graveyard of the Atlantic for nothing..lol.

    I have a detector, nothing fancy like others just a cheap little model my wife got me one year for giggles. I plan to get a good one tho, and take my own advice an go rooting around my sandbar. Lots of goodies out there from pirates to tourists..haha!

    Sirscrapalot - Does this make me a golddigger?
