You mean to tell me you've never seen Richard Harris' portrayal of the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy in the Harry Potter movies? Scare the beejeebers out of Xavier so his hair and beard all turn white and he'd have done well as a stand-in for the part.

I must admit, I have never seen a harry potter movie Shocked

I hate watching science fiction type movies...... No no!

But it would look funny with Xavier with a white beard like this Wise

Hi Guys
Sorry for the long silence. I have been busy with some folks shooting the French Amazing Race.
The final is in Cape Town... tomorrow...the contestants are doing a treasure hunt for the "next clue after skydiving in to the site. I am the technical supervisor on the machines that they have hired from me.
All very exciting hehehe!
Amazing where this hobby is taking me!
Viking.

Hi BA, we had so much rain that I could not go detecting Cry

Oh well winter is on it's way, then the grass will burn which will make it shorter, which makes detecting easier Great

But the cold, I hate it No no!

Viking, you are becoming a star...... Where are the photos Huh?

So you are working with the frogs Shocked

I am sure you had fun with that one..... Tell us more,we need to know Wise

Hi Guys
BA nice to hear from someone again. I see we have had a lot of one hit wonders....ah well treasure hunting is not for everyone....thank heavens!
I will put up some pics after the shoot tomorrow, can't say too much until it's all over.
The crew is actually from Belgium and the client is France.
Anyway they asked me to make the targets as well,140mmx140mmx 3mm ally plates......I have to bury them half way to hell Devil

so they don't overload the coil. There are 20 dummies and 1 clue for each team....poor buggers are gonna dig!
Should be a blast although it has been a bit stressful to organize everything.
Stay tuned
Viking

Hi guys ! I see - lots of interesting things are happening ! This is good ! I just came back from long weekend in Sodwana Bay . Did only one dive - ocean was terrible - some Cyclone around Madagascar ! Waves were around 6 m , One of my friends crushed his diving boat , lost all diving equipment ( 6 sets ! ) Some people were injured - I had to sutured them on the beach ( including one French lady ) ! I did also some metal hunting - got lots of coins , including 4 from Swaziland ! I will post photos soon . No gold yet ! Paid for that with bad sun burns ! But it was very exciting to get this sweet sounds under the coil ! I also discovered that my new Excalibur is a good machine but very badly balanced - my arm is still stiff . Now I will try to make some photos of my " treasures " and post it ! C U !

Sun burns and lots of digging :
