How to get my parents to allow me to by a metal detector?
I want to buy a metal detector and I am 16. I have not asked but how can I convince them it could be a good hobby for me? I do not have any friends so I am guessing they would like me to get out and do this?
Answer:
depending on where you live you can find valuable things in the ground, i know one guy who lives in virginia and found a few HUGE shells from a mortar about 3 feet in the ground, he also found a lot of coins that were worth a pretty penny. but if you live somewhere you know your not going to find anything dont bother. there expensive and not worth it if your looking for ghosts in the ground. i'd read up on the history of your location. i.e if there has been colonists, myan (myan coins), wars, etc. then by all means GO FOR IT
Edit: or if there has been asteroid impacts, asteroids in general are worth a lot!
How to make a replica of a favorite garment ?
My adult daughter has a favorite skirt - it has pleats but they are just sewn in, its not a permanent pleat. Do you know how I could make a pattern from a skirt ? Would I have to unpick all the stitching , or is there another way . Many thanks.
Answer:
It depends on the style.
If the pleats are at the waistband you could measure round the hem for the width of the back and front. You then measure the distance between the pleats on the skirt you are copying and put the pleats in the same place.
If the pleats are in a different position it may not be that simple but the same principle could be applied.
Remember that if you use a different fabric the effect may not be the same.

How to break a lock to a gun cabinet?
what do i need and how do i do it?
Answer:
Are you talking about the metal cabinets that are bolted between the studs in the wall or between the rafters or stringers in the floor? You need both of the keys that are used to lock the cabinet. It has to be those keys; they may look like any key will work, but that's not the case.
If you're talking about a gun SAFE with a digital combination lock, it will have to be drilled if you don't have the combination. Call any local bank and they can give you the phone number of a licensed locksmith who can drill and replace the lock.
