[Jeff Strichart]

Hi I am Jeff. I live in Loveland, CO. I am 53 and always wanted to metal detect but it was only last month that I actually bought a detector. I have a Garrett Ace 300 and a Garmin Pin Pointer AT. I am looking for people in the area to go detecting with, also geocaching. Thanks!

Well Jeff, I would but moved from Rock Springs last year! I KNOW there has to be some great things to be found in that area!! Heres a hot tip from a older noob than you, look into a aftermarket coil,NELs, for you machine after you use it for a few months.

Get a GOOD digger! The Whites is nice for the $$, point is a pain to really ecavate a hole! But cuts in GREAT.
Im just wearing the paint off my Predator digger, sucks in dry hardpack, but its a dirt mover!!

Its a great hobby!!

Thanks all! Steve, I bought this at Ace Hardware for around $12.00. It seems very sturdy and has the serrated edge.

Hey, Jeff, I'm Jeff. I live south of you in the rat race metro area. I'm also 53 but been doing this since the mid 80's.
WELCOME and HAPPY HUNTING!
Don't get discouraged, go slow and learn the machine. Get on some old private property up there and get some goodies.
