Welcome to T'Net.
I know I've learned MANY things from this site. I lurked here for about 6 months before finally getting a cheapy BH detector and entering this addiction; uh, I mean hobby. This site taught me SO much that would have taken way longer if I had to figure it all out on my own through trial and error. It's really a great site and a storehouse of great information..

And congrats on retiring and having plenty of time to hunt. Hope I live long enough to do the same.
