Yep, that would be me. Made the decision to get into MDing recently after seeing people on the Texas coast beach doing it on Padre Island. Figured why not, when surf fishing and the bite is slow. Plus, read an article in the Island Moon about a bunch of shipwrecks I believe in the late 1800's or so. Also, while not on the road Rving this will give me a good reason to get out of the house and kick around in some local parks and lakes. I have seen people MDing in them over the years. Being on a limited income I put an "asset" up on consignment to pay for my, "leap" into this hobby.

My 900 with some accessories is due to arrive from Bart tomorrow. It was a pleasure dealing with Bart at Big Boys Hobbies.

I have a LOT to learn but what the heck, going in deep.

Joined here because this site seems to be the most active I found. Even pulled the plug on charter membership. I'm sure that will be $ well spent.

Thanks for having me. Hopefully I don't make too much of a fool of myself asking questions.

Good luck with your hunting

Thank you for the warm replies. Well, I have the machine, now, I need to learn how to use it. I've been doing a lot of reading and poking around in my apparently trashy back yard. Lots and lots of beeps. I'm sure in due time I'll begin to figure out what the 900 is telling me. It's still cool and windy here so I'm in no hurry to hit the parks just yet.
