Hi All!

Just wanted to stop and introduce myself after alot of time lurking around here.
The name's Barry, and I live in Worcester right in the heart of Central Massachusetts. I've been metal detecting since I was 14, which makes it about 22 years now. My favorite part of this hobby is definitely Coinshooting, and I have made some decent finds over the years and hopefully more to come.

I started off using a little radio shack unit that I received as a birthday gift those many years ago, and now I use 3 primary detectors: A Fisher 1266-X, A Garrett GTAx 550 and a Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300.

Hopefully sometime in the future I will be lucky enough to be able to purchase a Whites DFX or XLT, but for now the 3 detectors I use do the trick.

Well, thanks for listening to my long winded intro, and it's nice to meet all of you.

Happy Hunting!!

So far my personal best has been an 1897 O Barber Half Dollar in VG condition. Now that was a blast to find!

Welcome WtH! There are a lot of good people here with great advice. I have been at for 25 years and also started with a Radio Shack detector. Moved up to a 1220X, 1265X (won at a hunt), Tecknetics 6000B and now I have an Xterra 70 and Explorer II. Metal Detecting has changed a lot in twenty years and I recently got back into it when I moved to Florida. HH Cal
