[daveycleaning]

Which is cool because of the experience but i was wondering why there is not very many younger people like me. I am 20 years old. just thought it would be interesting!

Let's see, I'm 46, no 47, sometimes I forget. Started detecting in the mid 80's with a Garrett ADS III which I still use in certain situations.

Dear group;
I am 46 and I got started in this amazing hobby when I was 14. Back then I could hit a park on Friday afternoon and find enough change for the movies on Saturday AND Sunday. Those were the days. I could earn more pocket money swinging a detector than I could slinging newspaper or pushing a lawn mower. Plus, all the pawn brokers and me were on a first name basis too. My first detector was my dads' old BFO and I am no longer recall the make or model. Some out of business off brand, with the name TEX in it somewhere I seem to recollect. My current arsenal consists of a Minelab GP3000, a Minelab SD2100 and a White's GMT, adozen coils and other assorted paraphenalia.
Your friend;
LAMAR

Let's see, I started detecting in 1980 when I was 16 so I will be 44 in August. Hopefully I'll still be detecting until I'm 88.
