I quit hitting metal my husky has a built in detector:)

Well, you did get that right.

My metal detector is over 80% accurate.

My Stihl chainsaws....and Norwood....are 100% guarenteed to find any and all metal....and even the occasional insulator....ceramic.

Sure sounds funny when the bandsaw hits it.....and costs me about $35 each time.

Then the all too familiar "millers dance" and rant.
 
I doubt a metal detector would have found this metal. It was buried in when the tree was about 10 inches in diameter, and was 20 to 30 feet in the air. It was scarless to about 30 inches in diameter.

You have to be a good shot to get two in a row, 30 feet apart in the tree.

I'll bet someone has some pics of the trophy.
 
Arsawmechanic's Pics Link, Thanks.

GTG thank you.

I would ike to thank Steve and Sherry and Rod for hosting the GTG and being such great host. Enjoyed seeing Everyone that could make it that I met at the last GTG and meeting a lot of new people. Enjoyed running so many different saws. There was such a variaty. There was about evry brand there. Older saws made up a large part of this. Steve a big thanks for loaning me a bar so we could run The Stihl 041Gear drive that I picked up on the way down Friday. It turned out better than I expected. Hope U Got some pictures. As I am not a photgragher. The big saws wre fun to run thanks Hal (Stihl 880) and Wyatt (Husky3120). Those are both power houses. Now I have to decide which one I don't need. Don't need either one. But we all know how that goes. The best part was watching Stumpy's boys. I think they had the most Fun. Stumpy's going to have to get a second job and third job just to keep them in saws.

Had a great time even though it was a bit damp.
