I heard it somewhere today that it's your birthday today, buddy Jarhead! If so then HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope it was great!!!--Jen ;D
I don't know anything about a BIRTHDAY, but according to my family calendar, he was hatched on this day way back when.
Hah, I heard or read somewhere he was found under a rock.

Larry,
Under a rock ?? I was told I was found under a cabbage leaf. Now I don't know what to believe. Yes hillbilly it is my B-day. Just another day to me. Woke up at 0400--did 100 jumping jacks to loosen up--then put on my speedo's and ran 5 miles. Was going for the usual 7 miles but it was slick outside. Got home and split 2 rick of wood with an axe--then went inside and cooked a 3 coarse breakfast for the Mrs-----and all this before 0700. Then I--- WHOP !! That's the sound of my wife smacking me upside the head for telling a big ol windy.
(OK, I fess up---it was only a 2 coarse breakfast )
Cuz, it sounds like you a real good day on this special day of yours! ;D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JARHEAD.
Before this day is over, I MUST wish you the happiest of days and many more to come. Knowing that you and only you will forever be the faithful one that we the people of Elk County can rely on to tell the truth---only the truth and will be our source of wisdom, if and when we need the advice of the "All knowing Guru".
Blessings to you, dear boy and may the bird of paradise NEVER fly up you nose!!!!
Happy Birthday, Ron !!!!
Birthday hugs from
Jim's Auntie

Frank and Myrna
Hope you've had a happy birthday.
Happy Birthday you windy old Owl Hoot! ;D
Happy birthday late.
I completely missed the postings regarding your birthday! How could that happen?
Anyway, I hope your birthday was a good one, and that "Cousin Joe" got to share it with you!
Here's wishing you many more happy birthdays.
Happy birthday, Jarhead! Hope you have a wonderful and pampered day!
Richard and Anna Beth
I thank y'all.
No Miss Bonnie, I did not spend my B-Day with Farmer Joe, but I will be seeing him more in the near future. Got myself a new metal detector and as soon as I conquer this contraption the first place I'm heading is Farmer Joe's. I just know he has gold buried in his yard. He denies it but maybe he just forgot where he buried it !! When I get done, his yard will look like a gaggle of gophers has taken up residency in his yard.
Fish---you might want to build a bigger vault at the bank. All the gold & silver I will be finding with this detector, I will need a wheel barrow to wheel it into the bank to store it---unless Ft Knox has some extra space
It sounds like you have received a great treasure-hunting device to occupy your time. Good luck with the riches, and glad you had a great day! Happy Birthday!
Probably spend most of my time looking for ol Sarge's hooks and sinkers with the detector. He is such a moron that he is always getting hung up in the trees--behind him or casting clear across the river and either way he breaks his line and loses the hook & sinker.
I hope you have a lot of fun with it and maybe actually made a big find. I have always wanted one.
Ms Bear,
After reading the manual and not understanding a single thing it said I was ready to find treasure but after 10 minutes my hands were froze and it started snowing. My first target said silver / foil and that's exactly what it was---a big wad of tin foil 4 inches under the ground. Next target said a "ring" and it was---a ring with the pull tab still attached. Next target said" definitely ' a penny but again it was wrong---it was 5 pennies and a nickel all together right under the grass. The newest coin was 1992 so not really treasure but it is my first cache of coins. The next target said "belt buckle" Now I'm really getting excited because I have visions of a Buffalo Soldiers lost buckle. Dug that puppy up and I'm amazed at how old buckles look just like an old rusty barn door hinge---but what do I know ??
Sitting here, I see patches of bare ground poking thru the melted snow, so off I go looking for that elusive gold nugget. I wonder what ol Sarge is doing because I don't mind doing the detecting but getting awful tired of getting down on my knees to dig the treasures and then having to crawl to a tree to pull my fat arse off the ground. Maybe I should use a shovel with a longer handle !!!
What brand is your metal detector? Let me know if you find any buried moonshine!
Happy Birthday Jarhead. Thanks for reminding me that I have always wanted one of those. Keep us posted on your finds.
Holie Buckets~~~~~Is he a mess -----or what??????
Roflmho
That could be a whole new topic. Will be interesting.
Guns, It's a White's MXT.
Roma Jean---How nimble are you? I mean like can you dig and then get up off the ground ? If so I might have a job for you.
Jo, I have not a clue as to what you are talking about.
Ms Bear, Give me a time or two of digging davits everywhere and not find treasure and I might know where an almost new detector can be bought. My intention was to go this afternoon but I sit down in the recliner to put my shoes on and my wife said she was going to take a nap so being the good husband I am I kicked back in the recliner and listened for the phone to ring. I know how annoying it is to be woke up from a nap to answer the phone so I feel like I did my good deed for the day
Jar..not only can I get up off the ground I have my own shovel and posthole digger. If all else fails I can shoot it out of the ground. Ha ha ha
Roma Jean,
You just said a very dirty word, to me. POST HOLE DIGGER is a no-no. The last post hole I dug cost me $1,300 (plus change). Atmos gas company frowns on you hitting a gas line without first calling Dig-Safe. A mistake I won't be making again in the near future. Went detecting this afternoon. Found 18 pennies---3 dimes --one quarter. Nothing old but 73 cents is better than a swift kick in the butt.Also a healthy handful of pull tabs.
You're going to have a great time with that new toy, especially when the weather warms up!!!
Jarhead, I have an early 70s White's metal detector, not near as fancy as the one you have, but I'll bet that it could find 73 cents worth of dirty coins, some polished .22 shells, lint and maybe even a wallet with a picture in it resembling you. Maybe when the weather is better we could go metal detecting.---Robert
P.S. By the way, I didn't have any problem with that ammo running through my gun. We run 90 rounds through there at a very high rate of speed. It didn't jam or misfire once. I don't think your gun was made to shoot junk ammo.
Jarhead, truth be told, you were trying to tap into that gas line for free gas for the bunker, right?
Larryj
Larry,
I don't think there was enough gas leaking from that 1 1/4 inch line to heat my bunker but what do I know. The "estimated' loss of gas was around $500 worth in two hours time. The original bill was for $1, 700 but some kind soul at the gas company gave me a break and for that I'm thankful.
When I get to Moline I will definitely call DIgrite before I plant the first bush. Good lesson Jarhead.
