Hey everyone! It's been ages since I even picked up a detector, but for some reason, the switch was flipped, and I'm beginning again. The last time I had a machine was back when I was sixteen or so, but for some reason, here I am again with a Bounty Hunter, and a little HF9F, that a friend got for me. I finally got my hands on a pin-pointer and a good backpack. I'm loading up for bear, and hoping to do some overnight camping and detecting this winter. It seems that those two things go hand in hand like PB&J.
I was delighted to find this board and the friendly people I've seen here. It seems like a great place to put down my roots and get to know others in the hobby. I've found quite a few bits of junk and even some usable things since I rebooted my interest in detecting again, but as of yet, no coins. I'm heading to the park later to see if I can remedy that.
It seems that everyone is suddenly getting into the hobby these days. I wonder if it's the state of the economy.
At any rate, its a good change from flying quad-copters. It doesn't cost as much. and it gets you out. I have no delusions of quick wealth. I've done this before, but even back then, it was fun because you never knew what kinds of neat things you might dig up. I went of for the summer to visit grandparents, and surprise surprise, My detector was gone when I got back. That ended my first run at metal detecting. I hope my brother got some good drugs for it... Years later, and a little bit better off, I have some new gear and away I go.
I'm heading out today as soon as it warms up a little. Have to feed the dogs first though.:
You folks have a good one
