New from Virginia

[JimBru]

Hello all.

Relatively new to metal detecting, as I really didn't think about it until I moved to Virginia about 5 years ago. We tend to metal detect as a family, more so my son than my daughter. I am in the Fredericksburg, Virginia area, so there is a lot of American history around here. I enjoy reading about the Civil War and hope to find some nice relics.

We recently bought a Garrett Ace 400, and before that we used a Teknetics. Been doing much better with the Garrett so far.

Best find so far is a Confederate Script "i" Local Button. We find lots of old iron that I have no clue what it is, which is one of the reasons I joined the site. I will have to lean on a lot of the veterans here to figure out what I actually dug up. Also wanting to learn about cleaning and taking care of the finds.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's finds and hearing the stories behind them.

Jim

Welome to the site from middle Georgia! Sounds like you're already a winner with family activities. You live in a great area for relics and treasure in general. You'll have to keep us posted on the great finds you and the kiddos make. Also look for some local clubs in the state forums that may have youth groups. Great to have you here...
