Welcome to the V Nick club and congrats on all of your cool finds. Nice buff too.

I see you're using BH equipment. I was too until just a couple of weeks ago (still using First Texas product/Tek Delta).
I really love to see good BH finds. They're the brunt of many a joke but they're still work horses and DO find treasure regardless of what anyone says or thinks. I got my one and only V nick with my OLD Rat Shack BH Land Star Clone. That thing still works perfectly.

That's a nice silver Washington you got there too. And that bridal button was a foot deep?? That's a great find indeed.

I also see you're down on the Eastern Shore. I'm up in Howard county so here's a shout out to a fellow MD'er.

Congrats on all of your finds.

Yeah, since getting my delta I've been going back to some old spots and trying to find targets I've missed.
I hate to admit it but I've been missing lots of good stuff. That's not to say I haven't been finding some pretty good stuff along the way. Some of my best finds were made with my BH's, including a few nice old coins and 3 gold rings, so really, how bad is that??

I learned SO much while using my BH machines and for that I'm happy and grateful. They're definitely great machines to start out on. My main issue was depth, which I think I've overcome so far with the Delta.

You're gonna' love that Fisher when you get it. It'll be like taking a quantum leap and you'll be well prepared. The one on my wish list is the Teknetics T2 SE but that's not happening until spring. In the meantime I'll keep swingin' the Delta and my kids or anyone else can swing the Bounty Hunters if they wanna' tag along.

The most important thing is showing up and swinging over targets. That's more than half the battle. The machines do make a difference but if you don't swing even a high end detector in good spots over good targets you're not gonna' do much.

Oh, and I probably won't cross 'dat bridge this winter but when it gets warm again, I'm always up for traveling if there's some hunting to be done.
I also have some friends and relatives in Southern MD on the Western side and wanna' get down there next year as well.
I'm ready for spring and winter hasn't even started yet.

BTW, the weather in MD is gonna' be PERFECT for hunting this weekend.
