Hello and thanks for having me!

[HunterHero]

Hello everyone and thanks for having me! I have to start but saying my user name is a fraud! Ha! I’ve never hunted treasure so I’m no hunter hero!

That being said I am looking to get into hunting via a metal detector and would love some good advice! I’ve always been interested in hunting this way so with Christmas coming up and my wife asking me what I want, I decided that now is a good time!

We live near a civil war battlefield, I know it’s illegal so I’m not doing that, but we have family property that almost borders the battlefield and businesses that have had relics found so I’ll start with some of that.

Anyway I’m looking at a Minelab Equinox 800 Multi-IQ to get started. Good idea or nah?

Thanks!
