Welcome to TN Cherrypicker.
What kind of a detector do you have?
What kind of hunting do you do?
...and part of the country do you hail from?
*don't forget to post some of your finds, along with some great stories!
My detector was a Garrett but one of the less expensive ones. I started detecting a long time ago when I moved to VA and started collective civil war memorabilia. I thought it would be neat to find my own things rather than just buying online or at garage sales. Sadly, my detector is in storage under the care of my ex husband. I don't think I will be seeing it again.
Now I generally frequent yard sales, estate sales and thrift stores. I buy anything that I personally find interesting. A lot of it I end up selling but I have a great time looking for things and researching them is my favorite part. My best find was a medal given out to only 100 soldiers during the civil war. I took it to a museum to have it authenticated and sold it for about 4 grand.
I'm originally from NYC but I've lived all over the US. PA, OH, VA, NM, CA, MS, FL and currently IL.
