Hi, I'm a new member here.
I'm looking for people here that knew my dad in the Superstition Mountains. His name was Carrol.

I spent my 1st 20 years helping my dad work on the Peralta codes out there. Bob Corbin, The Bluebird Mine wanted me to write a book after he passed.
He came out here from Texas in 1955 to find the catches.
He donated 2 of our coded rocks to the historical museum only to find out they auctioned them off online before he passed. Attached is a picture of me in my teens with one of my finds dated 1568, I have more, plus photos, maps memories. i'm 56 yrs old now.

I'm also trying to locate Bob Corbin as he was with my dad quite a bit.
Any help??
Thanks,
Carrol jr.

Hello from Wisconsin. Very new to the hobby. In fact, I haven't even got a detector, but it is on it's way. I picked up a used Garrett AT Pro. One of the reasons I joined this group was to contact CopperPenny in the hopes of purchasing one of his AT Pro dust covers. I hope he is still a member?

Be Well.

I'm new and I'm mainly here to discover what some of this stuff is around the house and backyard. Right now I'm trying to find out what these two vases are. My mom has created many shadowboxes for the arrowheads that were found around the yard and old tools that my grandfather used.

hi my name is David I am kind of new to treasure hunting I am retired from asphalt. I spend my summers fishing and gold panning. I got a Garrett AT PRO for Christmas its nice to have something that gives you somewhat of a clue of what your digging I started out with a bounty hunter 101 it was ok but dug a lot of pop tabs and cans up. I am always up for a adventure and finding history.

Welcome David! That was a great Christmas gift. Bad news : you're still going to dig a lot of pop tabs and aluminum lol.

Hello everyone old time member had to register again due to my old email closing down. But my original handle was STH69, I'm currently in Upstate NY and since the thaw have had one great hunt and nothing but bad weather since. so my first ever Barber after five years of digging! Hopefully more to follow once the weather improves here, great to be back and HH.

Hello all. New to the site. Have always been interested in th. I started watching Prospectors and I have this overwhelming desire to learn more about gem mining. I've done the bucket mining at gem mines, but love the idea of working all day outside digging for pockets of gems.

Anyway, that's what got me to the site, I'm hoping to meet people and learn a lot about this passion.

Hi, I've been detecting off and on since I was a kid, and finally have some time to hopefully pick it back up in the central PA area. I am a student at the Army War College in Carlisle, PA.

Hi Everyone. I'm from Safety Harbor, Florida and I'm new to metal detecting and posting on forums. I saved up and bought my first detector that me and the missus took out for a spin. It didn't take long to realize I don't know what I'm doing. I'm really looking for a partner and mentor to show me the ins and outs of the metal detecting in my area.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the welcome. Been metal detecting since 1971. Started with a heath-kit build it yourself type. Did a lot in Germany for several years. Moved thru several brands over the years and settled on Garrett “GTI 2500” around 2001. The Garrett Company is about 150 miles south of me. There’re in Dallas Tx. I’m in Lawton Ok. So I stop in every few years and get a tune-up and update. Great organization. They never charged a penny for the work. I did upgrade to a see-thru coil 2 years ago and they charged “at cost”. What a deal. Shot for artifacts and coins fm east to west coast. Did a little bit of gold sniffing too. What I enjoy most is the research, and getting the real stories from the old-timers when I stop into the Senior Citizens ctrs for coffee in the small towns. Now retired, and don’t know where I ever found the time for full time work. Again thanks for the welcome fm Lawton, OK.

Hi Jerry, been to Carlisle.... A few years ago. Great pizza. Enjoy your stay. I retired fm active duty in 1990 (CSM) w/25yrs in, fm Ft Carson Co. and have had the opportunity to detect all over the world. A word of caution. . . Make sure you know the restrictions in the countries you're pcs to. You can do jail time in some countries. In others you may find areas densely populated with unexploded ordinance.
