Just a Gal From Kalamazoo!

[KalamazooHunter]

Hello Everyone! I use to post here a few years ago and then got out of it (busy having a baby) well now my baby turned a year old and I'm ready to get back in the swing of things!

I'm from Kalamazoo Michigan! I love metal detecting and dream to be a real treasure hunter one day but for now, I'll stick with combing the beaches and trying to find the big one!

I work at Western Michigan University. I long to do something exciting for a living but for now I work in an office.

I'm married and like I said, have a 1 year old daughter named Addison.

Sometimes I wished I lived in the South or somewhere with a little more "history" and "treasures" but for now, it's Michigan. Not too exciting. I'd love to chit-chat with other Michiganders sometime or anybody really

Tara

Oh yeah, I'm 28. Thanks for having me here - I'm glad to be back!

Welcome! Good ole WMU, I have a couple sweatshirts from there. As near as I can figure they cost about $12,000 each. Got a hat too, About $5,000. Whatever the cost, they were well worth it!!!

I totally agree....Tara you have a lifetime of pure treasure right there in your arms...the greatest gift of all is a child .
Michigan is a fantastic state...lots of cool treasure sites ...just put that baby in a backpack and go...thats what I did with my girls.

Welcome back to the Hobby!!!

Welcome back Tara!!!

Now, before it's too late, are you absolutely SURE that you want to undertake all of this insanity again? I live in W. Michigan about 45 minutes north of Muskegon (Hesperia, if you've ever heard of it). I'm in the National Guard and I drill at Ft Custer every month but haven't detected much down that way. I'm in Iraq right now so I have a lot of detecting to catch up on when I come back home in the Spring.

Beautiful baby too!!!

Here is another pic from Last year. My daughter is wearing her retainer because she was born with a cleft lip & palate. Luckily we have 2 surgeries down already and she's looking good!

The first picture I posted was Addison at 3 months old, just after her first surgery.

This is her at 2 months old.

Hello and greetings from the U.P. I've been gone for a few months too (more like 6 0r 7 LOL) Just didnt give myself the time to really get out and do some searching last spring and summer! (that will not happen this year) Although I did get to go and search a possible crime scene/shallow grave in a unsolved murder case the state police are still working on. (that was cool) I also know what you mean about the "down south" stuff and I gotta agree with the "more history" but hey if I could find a coin from the 1800's I'd be one happy fella,and if your finding something even clad it's still way cool. Once this hobby gets ahold of you it's in your blood for good and even when i wasnt going last year i was still thinking about it. Every old house or farm or school house i'd pass i'd wonder what was buried under the yard,in the chicken coop,along the fenceline etc. Anyway welcome back to Tnet this place is awesome. Plus now you can read all the back posts over the rest of the winter and "catch up" like me. HH,
