Welcome to the site from middle Georgia! Great to have another hunter on board! You've already seen some of the great information here and I know you'll avail yourself of all the many and diverse areas of discussions. Be sure to check out the "Brands" sub-forum for the latest questions and research of models of detectors you may want to acquire. Hope to see some great posts from you in 2019 and beyond!
Thanks everyone. Such a great group. Wish i hadn't waited so long to jump in, but better late than never.
devldog.... the member I happened to meet was Gollum. He was kind enough to also offer me a lot of literature and other info at the time I met him. It was a couple of years back and he was local here.
My 68 Firebird was something else, but sadly had to part with it earlier this year. One of the great byproducts of divorce, but that is a story for another time. I do have a photo of it on my profile though.
