Greetings from the top of the Chesapeake Bay! I am fairly new to this site, and I think it's awesome! I have been metal detecting for a few years now, and also do a little gold panning here and there. I enjoy finding old coins the most, as I have been an active numismatist for over thirty years, and of course it's always exciting to find gold jewelry, and historical relics of the past..... if I could only find an old treasure map! Yes, I am a treasure hunter through and through, would like to meet up with some locals to do just that, find the treasure!
