Three Metal Detecting Experiences with the Minelab X-Terra Pro
I have been looking for a completely waterproof metal detector so that I could hunt in the water. So when I had a chance to try out a Minelab detector, I chose the X-Terra Pro. I also chose the ML 100 headphones and Pro-Find 35 pinpointer because it also is waterproof to 10 feet. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to try it out in three different experiences.

On Target
When Sarah Trocolli graduated from Baylor University in 2018 with a degree in journalism, she did some of the usual things one would expect—like managing media relations for Texas State Technical College in Waco and serving as the marketing manager for Magnolia Real Estate, also in Waco.
The last thing she expected, however, was a future working at a gun club. But now, as the director of events and membership at Waco’s Republic Gun Club, she is having a blast. Read more here.

THE CASE FOR SHORTER TRAINING COURSES
Here’s a scenario that probably happens more than we realize: a prospective student researching training classes comes across wonderful courses being offered by amazing instructors. She’s taken several in the past and would like to take more. Then she sees they run for six to eight hours a day, for two, three or even five days. She knows they’re fantastic, empowering experiences but then she sees the cost. Between the time commitment and the price (and quite frankly, the stamina) required, she talks herself out of enrolling.

It was named after John Jacob Astor in 1811 (even though he never actually visited the area) and was called Fort Astoria. But – it didn’t always have that name. Read more here.
EVALINE SCHOOL KEEPS THE ONE-ROOM-SCHOOLHOUSE EXPERIENCE ALIVE
Evaline School began as a one room schoolhouse by another name in 1883 and was destroyed by a falling tree within a few years. A second school was called “Brown’s School” because the lumber was donated by Brown’s Mill. Then the name was changed to Evaline after the postmaster’s wife. A fire then destroyed that building in 1925 and that’s when the current school was built. Read more here.

Tucker Carlson Defends the Second
The week before heading to Dallas, Texas, Tucker Carlson was looking forward to the honor of speaking at the Women’s Leadership Forum and Luncheon at the NRA Annual Meeting.
“I’m a fully convinced defender of the Second Amendment. I spend my life talking to people and debating people who disagree with me. They seem to think there’s an empty void between the First and the Third Amendments. It’s nice to be around people who understand the importance of the Second Amendment. The Bill of Rights is even more applicable today than when it was written. It’s always a rare pleasure to be around people I agree with,” he says with a sigh of relief.
