I've been a member since 2016, but this is my first post ( took me long enough). My wife and I moved to Kokomo Indiana last July ('21), Have a cute little house. I know, everyone ask why move away from snow capped mountains, where everything is green year round and the salt water right at your door step? It's a long story of why, but basically the economy skyrocketed. Living on SS, we had to move. I have friends that live in Indiana. so here we are.
I just got the Vanquish 540, but the ground is frozen solid. I have a few places I want to go and swing, but now everything is covered in snow with more on the way.
I first got a taste of metal detecting with a Coin Master, then moved to Bounty Hunter-Lone star, Fisher CZ7, and now the new 540. Anyone in the area that would be willing to take a newbie, pm me.
I love doing research for new area's. But finding out who owns the property and getting permission, is something I need to learn. Just found an app on who owns the fields. Looking at maps of 1800 and before, more research.
I'm also interested in Panning for gold. Did a little bit on the Wild Cat Creek, I also found sun stroke too... that really wasn't what I wanted. Next time I go, it won't be in the hottest part of the summer. I have a sluice, blue bowl, Home made miller table. classifiers.
