just joined the forum today, so sorry i missed your post.
i live in ne pa, but have family in bucks county where i grew up.
if you want to get together some time for some detecting, i can arrange a trip about anytime.
also, i live in an area of old farms here in bradford county, lots of places to hunt around old farms still occupied. i have permission for hundreds of homesteads.
i could sure use some pointers from a more experienced digger.
