I'd been seriously detecting more than 30 years ago and dropped out for a long time. It's been an incredible hobby.

I found out about Tnet just this past March after deciding to get back active, and joined then for the education on the latest toys. And I've thoroughly enjoyed my almost daily visits here since.

I saw a post today from someone who'd been a member here since 2003. I know this site is much older than that.

So, I began to wonder who is the longest serving active member here - beside the owners of course.

I have two different User names this one is the oldest from Nov 14, 2004. The one I am currently using EccentricInTexas from Jan 14, 2013. I know the site was around for a few years before I joined the first time but as to the actual oldest I am not sure. Jeff of PA joined on Dec 19, 2003. I was thinking the site started in 2002 or 2001 but I am not sure.

I think this may be accurate I found it on a statistics site for web pages. Older then I thought. 18 Years, 1 Months (08-Aug-1995)

Mi amigo, Don Jose,

Big Cypress Hunter and the Old Man are two of several that I can think of quickly that I believe may have been here (and active) longer
longer than I, but I doubt if they (or you) are as old as this old fXXt.

I first found TNET back in 1998 or 1999 IIRC. I have come and gone several times and had to change usernames every time because my email changed. So I guess I have been here for about 14 years.

Edit, I just looked up the stats on treasuredepot and it is 15 years old. I remember when it formed as a split from this site, so I guess I have been here 15 years.
