Hiya Everybody,
This is my very first posting on this Forum, so if it don't work, you won't be able to read it.!!!
My name is Ray, and i'm a singer and entertainer on the lovley little tropical Island of Tenerife, which is part of the Canary Islands & under Spanish Rule. It's just off the Coast of Morroco, next to North Africa, for anyone who isn't up on Geography.
I have lived here for 6 years after moving from the U.K.
I've been very interested in Metal detecting since i was about 7 or 8 years old.
I have Today, ( 6th Feb 06 ) Just received my very first ever Metal Detector after a 30 year wait to get one, and i'm over the moon about it too.!!! It's a Garrett Ace 250. Thought i'd start off with something simple-ish to get going with.
When i was about 18, i did manage to borrow an old Fisher MD from a friend for a week, so i've had a little experience with one.
After looking at the internet on forums like this and elsewhere on the Net, ( that was unavailable back then ) I came across a picture that rang alarm bells.!!! when i had borrowed my friends MD back then, i had found what i thought to be a rusty old chain link with a pin going across it. I quickly threw it away and carried on searching. Nearly 20 years later, i realised that i had thrown away a Medevil Annular Ring brooch which was in fact in fairly good condition.!!! unknown to me at that time.
So now, i have learnt at least one hard lesson, but MAN was i Gutted.!!!!
Anyway, just thought i'd introduce myself to you all in this forum and hopefully will become a fairly regular sight on here. As long as you can all handle the photo of course.
hehehe
I'm also looking for New friends too, from ANYWHERE in the world.
Am hoping to go on a MD holiday in California maybe next year to hopefully find a Nugget or two, but will have to save hard for that one.
Anyway, i've babbled on for a while now so i'll shut up and let you get on reading something interesting. But hopefully i'll be back soon to let you know of my first finds with photos too. ( Coz that's my other hobby, photography. )
So, Take care all, good luck and happy hunting too.
All the best to everyone,
Ray.?
