New member and less than a year into detecting, love it. Third detector on its way! Let me know if anyone would like to connect for a hunt. Best find so far is .88 oz specimen. One of Gerry's trainees. Give a shout.

What part of Idaho are you in? I'm in Lewiston. If you're close we can connect

Well we're a ways away then. I'm sure you won't have a problem finding someone on here in your area though. Good luck hunting!

Hey! au id digger! I'm in Mountain Home. I've very seldom seen anyone swinging a detector since I've been here (3/2007). I haven't been detecting much for several years, but am getting ready to as soon as the weather is suitable. This is the first time I've ran across this site. I started in 1980 with a BH 840. I now have a BH 840, a Tracker 2D/707, a Tracker IV, and a Lone Star. As I stated, I haven't done much detecting for several years, and need to practice a lot. I used an old BH 840 back in Waco, TX in the early 1980s. Since then I have used it and the Tracker 2D about 8 or 10 times. Only about 5 or 6 times here in Mtn. Home. The old 840 is on the 'blink', but I bought another one because I've always loved them so well.
Give me a shout sometime. Maybe go get a cup and yak a while. I'm 71 yo and don't get around very fast anymore; but thought MDing might be some good exercise.

Yes, would definately like to meet. I'm not familiar with the BH line, what were you hunting primarily. I'm still a novice, but got into this initially for prospecting. Have GB2 and now XTERRA 70. I'll shoot you a pm.

Howdy! am in Pullman WA and would like to get together with anyone in the area to hunt. I've checked out a few places around Idaho with some luck. No silver yet. Interested in pretty much anything historic.
