Hello all. I've been lurking here for a while and thought I'd give the obligatory "hello world" message. What got me interested was a newspaper article about the Tri-County Metal Detecting club finding a gun used in a crime. Had no idea there were such clubs...
I've never been much into history until recently, and learning a lot about the town where I live (ironically where my ancestors moved to in 1852.) Doing research as to where things were and seeing tangible evidence of the world 150 years ago makes history a lot more interesting. I guess it could also be that I'm almost 50 and seem to "remember when" more than the current generation which makes me a bit of a relic in my own right.
I don't spend much time detecting, and I have cheap equipment. And by cheap, I mean REALLY cheap. I picked up the Harbor Freight 9-function detector and pin-pointer for $51 total. Just as good as the Minelab stuff! Not really, but it does a surprisingly good job for what it is.
Well, that's about it. Nice to be a part of the gang!
