Another newbie here...

My name's Michael. I just started the other day with a Garrett 150, which is just enough detector to know that I need a better detector! I live in St. Augustine, FL which is of course the oldest city in the country. So I figure I should be able to get some pretty cool stuff here. The city is doing some road work in the historic district. They just pulled up a brick road that has been there for, oh 200 or so years, so on my first day I go over there and see what I can find. First of all I need a detector with better discrimination cause I did enough digging to redo the whole road myself! Anyway, I did find what looks to be an 18th century axe head. Kinda cool for my first day

I'm hoping to find a used Minelab explorer. I've heard good things about it. Let me know what you guys think. I heard it has really good relic software, but what do I know...I just started this whole thing! I'd really like to hook up with other enthusiasts in the area. If anyone's interested, call me at 904-610-9772.

Welcome to the Forum Michael.
Sounds like a good site to hunt. Don't use your discriminate too high. You may miss some good stuff. There shouldn't be any pull tabs or bottlecaps in a place like that, but maybe a lot of nails. Thats a good sign though.
We'll all be looking for posts of your finds.

Unfortunately I won't be able to get a picture of the axe up very soon. I have to use the library computer at the moment. I am actually getting ready to buy a new Minelab Quattro for $800 tax included. Is that a good price?
