Hello. I've lived in northwest Pa my entire life and currently living in the Erie area. I have a FJ Cruiser that I'm going to be setting up as an overland/expedition/offroad rig as funds allow, so the treasure hunting/metal detecting hobby ties in nicely with my future plans of adventuring, camping, and getting dirty.
I've done a lot of research and am thinking of going with the following gear to get started. Fisher F2 package (4",8", and 10" coils), garret pro pointer, and a Lesche digging tool. Maybe pick up a 11" DD coil later. I need to get this ordered soon as I have some vacation time in July and would like to start using it on a camping trip I'm planning to take to a site near the town I grew up in.
My planned use will be wooded areas, fields, yards, with maybe the occasional trip to a park or Lake Erie shoreline. No saltwater anywhere close so that won't be an issue.
I've read about a few places in the northwest Pa area that sound interesting enough, and close enough, to do more research on and check out.
