metal detecting in los angeles?
Are there any great metal detecting sites to go to here in Los Angeles? I'm fairly new to the hobby, and am fairly stumped as to where to begin..any help?
Ask where you bought your metal detector - all kinds of groups and clubs have planned outings and are always willing to accept beginners. I'm sure if you look in your phone book - Under metal detectors you can find a bunch of places to check out. Lots of times the have already arranged the dig - and got the permission to use and dig in the specific places. I know that you must obtain permission of the land owners before you start digging up their property. But old grange halls, community buildings, and places like Church yards where picnics and fairs were held. Going with a experienced group would be the best idea - you will learn a bunch of useful hints. Good Luck - hope you find a real treasure. My brother in law found a stash of military buttons that he turned over to the Canadian Government - these were buried as a ceremonial outing when the group disbanded. Have fun

Kuku Impenetrable Metal Ball Puzzle $89.99 The Kuku is driving us cuckoo here at ThinkGeek. We keep passing the shiny metal sphere around the office, but nobody can figure out how to open it. Even our smartest monkeys are totally stumped. There just doesn't seem to be a way to get it open! It's quite possibly even harder than the Isis Puzzle, which we also can't solve. If you want the ultimate bragging rights of being smarter than a ThinkGeek monkey, you need to solve the Kuku (or Isis, or both!) and send us pictures so we might sing your praises and laud you as some sort of shiny brushed metal puzzle deity. If you ever do make it to the center of your Kuku, you'll find a token that can be registered online to play the vault game. To open the vault, you must decode a picture clue to identify a 10 digit code. The first person to enter the code correctly is admitted into the vault for five minutes. In those five minutes, you explore the three dimensional room and choose a safety deposit box. In the box could be cash, a gift voucher, various electronic gifts, or even a new high quality puzzle. According to the manufacturer's website, no winners of Kuku have stepped forward to claim their prize - will you be the first? |

Metal Gyro USB 3-Ch R/C Helicopter $39.99 This next generation copter features an all metal body and built in solid state accelerometer (just like the iPhone). What good is a gyro you say? Well young captain, you may recall that all R/C helicopters require trimming to make sure they don't corkscrew or rotate right and left in the air. This Metal Gyro copter uses it's accelerometer to stay locked on whatever direction it's facing. When you rotate right or left in the air it moves incredibly precisely and stops instantly. Watch the video to see the full effect. What this means is that we've just upped the ante for the most controllable small copter ever. In addition you get the added advantage of charging the copter via USB from your computer. Sure, you can still charge from the remote in the standard manner, but why waste batteries when you have an unlimited supply of power from your laptop. If course you get the standard 3-channel copter perks including full control with forward, reverse, up, down and rotate right or left. If you're looking for the latest and greatest small R/C copter look no further. This is it. |
