Gidday all. After leaving, decided to come back to the forum. Done heaps of detecting and finally got my open Water Diver certification too, something I've wanted to do for a while now. I've been detecting on a few of my favorite old haunts, and some new ones too, pulling out a stack of great relics, but alas, still no gold sovereign. I'm detecting in all the right places I believe, so maybe one day I'll get that ring of gold in my hand after wiping the dirt off! In the meantime I'm still finding the usual great old English/British coins. Nice to see a few old 'faces' here still going strong like Tinpan, Teejay, and I see that you've also joined this wacky bunch Finders Keepers! Catch you all later!

My name is Brian, and I was born in Louisiana and currently live in Louisiana.
However, I married an Australian and lived in Sydney for 2 1/2 years and in Nowra, NSW for another 2 1/2. During that time, I became a citizen.
I love Australia and would have been happy living there for the rest of my life, but oppurtunities presented themselves at home here in Louisiana, and was the right choice for my family and I to move back.
