how old is everyone here?

[daveycleaning]

hey guys i was just wondering hot old everyone is because i am just getting into TH and i have found that a lot of people are older. 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!

My first detector was a yard sale find, many years ago. It was a Radio Shack cheapy. I've had one around forever. Got into it seriously about 1994. In the second generation now, my daughter, Ashley, is 9 and a great treasure hunter.

35 here. Been detecting for about 5 years now. Started with 1 land machine (in case I didn't like it) and now I have a land a water machine. I love not knowing what is buried beneath my feet.

68, have been detecting since the late 60's. Started with home made detector, which I still have and still works. Went from that to a Heathkit. I then went to a White's Coinmaster IV, then a White's 66 T, then to a Garrett Ground Hog which I have stuck with until recently purchasing a White's DFX. I really love this hobby.

ALLO Joetoffton, we may have met. I was born on Oct 3, 1823. I was with Teddy at San Juan hill in Cuba in the 1890's, were you there also?

First detector, a Gardner, still very advanced even for these days - should be, it cost $900 US then.

In those days Padre island was open and free, no-one around, no pull tabs.

We EVEN had GOOD music, not this caterwailing and screeching of today. The junk that Deker & Doc love. snicker
