Hello from currently cold Minnesota. Looking to learn about Treasure Hunting and metal detecting. Up to now treasure hunting for me has been looking around older relative’s homes helping them downsize, and searching old antique stores. Time to find out about the real kind of treasure hunting.

Hey folks. Soon to be single 65yo. Well single if my plans go thru anyway. I got my first detector back in 1982, possibly 1983. If I recollect correctly, it was a White’s model 4500. Buy todays standards it was pretty primitive. I’ll tell you what though, in “82” there were only 25 or 30 maybe a few more people who even owned a machine (jk). EVERYTHING was virgin and only 20 years earlier all our quarters were silver. I basically hung that detector on the wall for20 years to do the old wife, kids, house, career, life thing and when I picked it up again there were piles of iron on every stone wall in the state and some great fields looked like Prairie Dog towns Oh the days. It’s funny but in the long run everyone of us could be looking for something other than what we’re looking for now. We just like to look. So I ended up making a lot of road trips from Boston to SC to look for fossil sharks teeth that were millions of years old. Then I moved on to hunting Native American points and made more trips to TX searching than I should have. After all these years I HAVE NEVER SUCKED UP A FLAKE OF GOLD! Embarrassing right? Well now I have the time and enough “extra” money that I’m planning on taking a four or five week road trip to California to find a few colors. Of course I make a few stops along the way to check a couple of things off my bucket list. I expect I’ll be bugging the crap out of some on you guys with stupid questions and I’m sorry about that in advance. I’m not gonna get any support from the Mrs but a man’s got a do what a man’s got to do and if I see one more carved coconut head at a tiki bar I’ll go blind. I’m never this long winded but I’m excited to take off. Youse guys have a great xmass.

Forums can be like a box of chocolates. You just never know what you’re going to get. I find a ton of people who love the opportunity to demonstrate how much they know and sometimes you find people who know a boatload of cool info but are hesitant to share it. I’ve followed this forum for a long time and it seems like a great crew.. imitation is the highest form of flattery and I’m always willing to follow good or not so good advice but I always try spread the wealth (of knowledge) as long as it doesn’t include spot burning or sharing GPS coordinates. See you around!.
