new at it

Hello everyone, I am new here, I am also a newbie in this area, I only recently started to be interested in this area. I have a lot of things I don't understand and I hope you can help me more.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the site and thought I would just jump in and introduce myself. I've been panning for gold in the local rivers and waterways for a number of years and though I have mostly found magnetite, I consider it a treasure to have the experience of chilling by the water and having...

I have found lot of good info on your site-- But lot of discussions about specific MDs/brands is based on personal history--and most of you agree that much of the success of any specific machine depends on the person actually using that MD...so the brain is as much or more important than the MD...

I've been fascinated by treasure finds, archeology and history for as long as I can remember. Two days ago, while looking for more info on something I read re: treasure, I saw this site for the first time. I joined immediately (rare because I usually think "I should join that sometime" while...

Been looking around TreasureNet for about six months. Great crowd of people sharing their experiences! After doing my research, I ordered a Garrett AT PRO for my first machine. It seemed like the best value for my purposes. What really made me decide on the Garrett AT PRO was after watching...

I'm new and yesterday I went detecting and got 79 cents and a earring that possibly could have silver gold and a. pearl all around one tree should I keep going. Also it was a 2 hour hunt.

Hello Everyone, My name is Kevin and I'm mostly interested in relic hunting. I love history and archaeology. I thought this would be a fun and educational way to spend time, both by myself and with my 11 year old son. I'm trying to educate myself before just jumping in. If anyone could give...
