Hey Folks: I have been looking at this site for awhile and enjoy it a lot. Thanks for being here. I have been detectoring for quite some time, first I had a Garrett big box machine but it got destroyed on a plane trip to England. I was quite dissapointed. I havent been doing it for 5 yrs now and just bought a WBH ID and have been having a good time. I even made a 1 1/2 foot long probe from stainless metal stock (hardware store) with a file handle attached so I dont have to bend over as far (back hurts) ha. My wife and I are heading to Alaska (August) and I am excited about shooting for nuggets there. Next year Id like to hit Ganes creek Ak. I also have 12 acres on Wauka Mountain Ga. that I am excited about hunting. Anyway, Enough of me. You guys are a wealth of info from what Ihave been reading and I predict that I will be a very active member.Thanks...Dan
