Hello from a rookie wanna-be detector. I am interested in trying detecting, however, I do wear a prosthesis on my lower left leg that includes metal pieces. Though I still have my original equipment right leg (yeah!), there is sufficient metal in that ankle to set off the detectors at Orlando airport.
I was researching info for beginners when I came across the warning about steel-toed shoes and how they can mess with your machine. And that got me to wondering .....
So I contacted a detecting distributor who admitted that he had no experience in this area, however, he invited me down and will work with me in a testing session. He was polite and patient with my other rookie questions and I look forward to the test later this week.
Any experience/info that anyone could share would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
