Over my 39 years of metal detecting to build coin collections, locks have been one of my top relic categories for trading or for selling. In this article I want to tell you about five of my favorite locks. Four of these locks are railroad locks and could tell some wonderful stories about the events and happennings that shaped west Florida in the late 1800's and the early 1900's.

My best lock was a beautiful 1888 Orange Belt Railroad lock that was heart shaped and measured about 3 inches wide by 4 inches tall. This beauty was nearly a foot deep and in very fine condition. I actually dug the key that fit this lock, at a distance of 30 feet away. This lock was made by Slaymaker Locks out of Sharon, PA. I sold it for $350.00 and probably could have gotten six or seven hundred for it.

Another great metal detector find is an 1896 Eagle Lock used by the Railroads as a switch lock (found in the same vicinity as the previous lock). It was used by the Atlantic Coast Line which followed the Orange Belt in Central/west coast Florida in about 1902. This is a 5-Lever lock and is very strong. The maker of this lock was the Eagle Lock Company of Terryville, CT., the largest lock maker in America at that time.

The third lock is incredible. It is a Laclede 6-Lever lock which opens by inserting the key in the bottom. No turning of the key is necessary to unlock it as the tumbler system opens when the proper key is inserted. This was found in the same area as the other railroad locks but is not marked as a railroad lock. It is a very strong, high-tech lock of the early 1900's and was popular with railroad and agricultural firms.

The fourth lock is also a ACL Railroad Lock and is worth three or four hundred dollars. It is another Slaymaker Lock from Lancaster and is a turn of the century model. The key does work with the lock but it is a replacement key from that time period, not the original. I found it inserted in the the lock and pouring the dirt out led to a smooth opening.

The fifth lock is non-descript, in that I cannot find any imprints or legends on it. However it is a nice brass lock that makes for a great display item. It is in very fine condition and the workmanship is extraordinary.

I estimate the value of the four locks to be about $1000.00 but they are not for sale, as I gave them to my father-in-law who is a lock collector. I have dug more than 100 locks from all over the world, and sold or traded many for several thousand dollars worth of collector coins. There are great books on antique locks and a wealth of information on locks that can be obtained from a Google search on the internet. Don't get locked out of the fun in finding and selling these great relics. Here's to "diggin it"! Larry

Heavy Equipment Training Programs

Machinery such as bulldozers, cranes, excavators, forklifts etc that are used for construction are considered as heavy equipment. Since they are large in size are use for heavy-duty work, those who operate the must be adequately trained and be highly skilled. Those who handle these are called heavy equipment operators.

Heavy equipment operators generally specialize in equipment like bulldozers, backhoes, graders, cranes, etc. They repair, operate, maintain, and adjust these machines. They need to learn about the mechanism of various types of gear like pedals, levers, switches, hydraulic controls, turn dials, and various other devices that are present in equipment.

The work of the heavy equipment operator includes the handling of mining equipment, excavation equipment, and material handling equipment, or road construction equipment to excavate, grade and landscape the earth, or to transport workers, materials and equipment. Like other professions, this career requires a certain level of education and training in special schools.

If you are interested in getting trained by enrolling into a heavy equipment training program, there are a variety of advanced levels of certificate programs provided by the National Association of Heavy Equipment Training Schools (NAHETS). These are the most comprehensive and innovative career programs designed for people who are interested in this field as a career. These programs offer fully accredited equipment career training for both new and veteran operators. After being certified, there are many job opportunities available in various industries like highway contractors, grading contractors, road contractors, housing development contractors, etc.

Many websites too offer some of the best on-line heavy equipment career training programs. The curriculum of the career training programs provide an overview to the heavy equipment industry, and train operators on the basic and advanced mechanisms involved in HE operations. The training is chiefly targeted at candidates looking for entry-level jobs. Many of the heavy equipment operator training courses are offered throughout the academic year, and can be taken to upgrade current skills, or fulfill degree and certificate requirements

Specialized training is also offered for a number of types of equipment. These include dump truck, tractor, scraper, wheel loader etc. Candidates learn how to safely and efficiently operate and maintain bulldozers, backhoes, excavators, wheel loaders, skid steers, forklifts, and so on. These training programs include acquiring expertise and knowledge in the basic operations of the equipments, as well as the safety precautions the operator must take. First aid certification is also given to the students. The duration of these programs are from 4 to 10 weeks, at the end of which the completion certification is awarded to the candidates.

After completing the course successfully, candidates will have the academic preparation and practical training required for jobs that can pay anywhere from $10 to $25, depending on the level of experience, expertise, and the employer.

According to the 2005 Occupational Outlook Handbook, the demand for construction equipment operators is expected to remain high right through to the year 2014. The handbook also reports that the average salary of construction equipment operators will be $17.00 per hour, but that highly skilled and experienced operators can earn over $29.34 per hour.

Where to buy a cheap 3 channel radio controller for remote controlled hovercraft?

I'm planning to build a remote controlled hovercraft and I'd like to buy a radio control for it that has two 'up and down' lever switches to control the two forward and reverse fans and an on off switch to control the lift fan.

Does anyone know where to buy one? I'm looking for something fairly cheap (binary signal, short range) but I haven't had any luck finding one yet.

Thanks for any help.

I found a link online where u can buy radio controller.
