Grew up in Pa. and started using a MD in the early 80's ( a Sears Whites TR-Disc....I drove my parents nuts over a few years to get Santa to bring me a detector) later moving up to a 6000Di Series 3 in 1984 and finally after attaining another 6000Di S3 (Hip Mount) a few years ago, I decided to move into the 21st century this summer and stuck my old machines on Ebay and used the proceeds to buy a Garrett GTI 2500 (wow how things have changed...the thing talks...don't know if thats a good thing)!! Have been lucky to have been able to detect in Europe and New Zealand as well as all over the Eastern US. Other activities: I love airplanes, brew beer and play some rugby (scrum half #9)! Currently living in SC near Charlotte NC.

The biggest risk I have found in aviation...other than the job market!!

Nice pics.! I also like aircraft. Jumped out of a few and had the stick a few times on smaller ones PA18 and C172's (wheel). Lots of stories to tell there, so I would imagine that you have a lot of flying stories to tell, being around them all day! Ever find any interesting stuff detecting?

A few old Large cents , old election tags, a few Barber Head coins and a few rings, nothing majorly valuable, but I have had a lot of good times out looking. In the past I've mainly looked for older coins, but now living in the south I have started looking for relics as well with all the areas around here with ties to the revolutionary and civil wars.
