Hello all,
Greetings from the Finger Lakes. I just purchased a Fisher F2 3-coil set with all the extra goodies from Kellyco. When I was a kid my grandfather had an old detector he kept as the farm, and we used to go hunting when we visited. It was not an extremely powerful detector, but it found enough stuff to get me hooked. Here we are years later and I'm excited to hunt the historic area where I live. I just got my rig on Christmas, and so far all I have been able to do is test it out in my front yard and my parents yard. We've found about 15 memorial pennies, a quarter, and some odd relics. It's nice out today, and I am heading up to my grandfathers farm for a hike. The key here is that there is an old foundation out in the woods that is from the 1800s. Other than that weak old unit Grampa had, I don't think it's ever been hunted.
Wish me luck! I hope to make a good post in the finds of the day forum later.
I also will note that I have read the code of ethics, and do hereby promise to be a good ambassador of this hobby. I will have permission for any hunt I do, and will follow the "leave no trace" policy.

Thanks DirtWarrior. Gary, That's great! I'd love to come up and see your place sometime. From your info there it looks like you have a shop. I hope to visit that too.
Just got back from hunting with some decent results. I'll post it in the proper forum. Either relic hunting, or todays finds. 1800s house and barn cellar holes!!!

Welcome aboard Ben! I am right down the road in Corning! Looks like a few of us are going to have to get together for a hunt. I'm available the first half of this week.
