Good Morning! I wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks. While I had learned some of the basics fooling around on my own, your training was informative and put me way ahead of where I would be right now. Although I was running a vlf machine I also learned things about the PI machines that I hope to put to use in the future. Many of the tips and techniques that you and your staff showed us would have taken a long time to figure out on my own. Some of these seemed like small lessons, but really are what gives a guy an edge in detecting. 
      After my Dad met me at the conclusion of the training we stayed another five days and detected at a few other sites. I think that helped cement my new skills. And being able to spend some time with Dad was priceless. Detecting will turn out to be something I can share with him. He loves the research and the whole process will, I'm sure, create memories. Finding a few more pieces of gold at the other sites was icing on the cake. Four small pickers at the training and another four from "elsewhere", thanks again. Bob Seastrom
