- Introduction
- Hi folks --- I had a metal dectector when I was a kid and discrimination was a new feature; found lots of great stuff. Now I'd like to take my boys out to share the experience. Looking forward to maybe meeting everyone!
- How long have you been metal detecting? What would you categorize your experience level as? (novice, intermediate, expert, other)
-
Started in about '79, did it until I finished high school in '85. Kept my 'Treasures' magazine subscription off and on since then. :)
- What type(s) and/or model(s) of metal detector(s) do you own? Do you own more than one metal detector that can be used, if needed, at a group event for other members who don't already own one?
-
An new but inexpensive Bounty Hunter picked up at a garage sale. I'd love to get a top-of-the line White's some day, but who wouldn't?
- What locations have you hunted for treasure in? What kind of treasure(s) and/or ancient artifact(s) have you found? What is your age?
-
I've done well at old schools, but best finds have been at the homes of local folks with old, old houses. I found a ton of silver, but not much jewelry. My favorite finds were a bunch of painted iron army men from the '30s.
- What are you looking to get out of this group? Are you interested in working with other members to organize events, or do you prefer to attend events held by other members?
-
To maybe get back into Metal Detecting, introduce my small boys (4 & 6) to the hobby, and especially make friends with some nice folks.
- What locations do you want to investigate for treasure and /or ancient artifacts? Do you want to travel a short or long distance? (long distance is over 100 miles from where you live). Are you willing to carpool others who need a ride?
-
I'm a local yokel... my trips would likely be meeting folks wherever they are locally and hanging out for an hour or two, until the kids attention spans get exhaused.
