How'd you get started?
I was just interested in finding out how everyone got started in MDing. Myself, I've loved history and archaeology since I was 4. I read books about treasure in my library in grade school and was told by many people that you'll never find things like that. I read a book about oceanography in 7th grade that had a section about shipwrecks and reales and the like. I was hooked and read a lot about SCUBA and shipwrecks but then forgot for 2 years. Prior to that I wanted to bring my grandpa's ancient 'Minolta' detector to the beach. Earlier this year I was in a bookstore thgat had a book that said, just, 'Treasure'. I picked it up and turned back the cover...on the first page I saw there was an underwater picture of gold coins in Hierakanopolis, Egypt. I had a romantic epiphany of days gone by when all I wanted to do was SCUBA dive. I bought some books and magazines and then asked for a detector for Christmas last year. So that's my story.
