Hello from Pekin Illinois

[diggin for history]

Hey all , i picked up the hobby or as my wife calls it "obsession" about a year ago now and since have rocketed full speed ahead in upgrade's, tools ,and research. Since picking up the hobby I have decided to stick with Garrett products I started with a whites coin master but soon moved on to a Garrett GTAX500 with a 7x10 and crossfire II coils, followed that with the ACE250 , and finally got my AT Pro for myself for christmas with the pro pointer as a stocking stuffer ....lol I've been hunting mostly beachs and old parks as well as the new with some 18oos family owned property to have all to myself. I've had some pretty good luck finding so far 17oo.oo in gold rings, jewelry , a cpl indian heads a buffalo nikel , barber s dime and nearly 3.00 in wheaties , with 44.23 in clad , along with a few silvers not included. I could go on and on but as the wife says "obsession" lol so i'll end with that and hope to hear from someone near to me that would like a hunting partner ? thanks and good digging to everyone .

Hi Diggin, am in SE MO. Not sure where Pekin is. You should take your wife out with you I think she would soon be obsessed too. Welcome to Tnet!
