beginner

I moved from Wisconsin about 15 years ago to a retirement community south of Chandler, AZ and retired in 2001. I joined today as a beginner looking for entertainment and knowledge from metal detecting. I did some dredging in a Colorado river west of Boulder back about 1985 and that was a great...

All of the videos and reports of beach hunting I have seen have shown people finding all of their jewelry in the water. My Fisher's display box isn't waterproof but the coil is. Should I take the risk and go out in the water for the goods? If so, how deep should my limit be? Remember, my display...

I'm bringing my Fisher F2 to the beach next week and I have some questions about beach hunting. Is a sand scoop really all that good? Also, where am I going to find the most jewelry? I have seen a lot of people waste deep finding rings and such. Is that the only place on the beach where jewelry...

:hello: I'm Sue, a new treasure hunter from Fort Myers, FL. Are there any others in my area? Does anyone own a Tesoro Compadre. I read many reviews that they were excellent detectors for the $160. So I bought one. I wish it had a depth and ID. I'm new, and maybe should have got a digital...
