Hello from Ottawa

Hello all

I started detecting this summer, although I've been keen on the hobby for a while. I feel that I'm relatively young for a detectorist (23) and I've always felt that my age is a disadvantage when it comes to asking for permission to detect. No one wants some young punk kid on their property I suppose.

My current machine is a Tesoro Compadre. I performs well, though I sometimes think too well. It's quite sensitive and I'm looking to upgrade to a mid-ranged machine. I hope that it will help me sort out the good stuff from the hauls of trash that I've been getting. I did find one pretty little silver quarter. That was a rush I want to feel more often.

Welcome to Treasure Net!!!

Now why would you describe yourself as a "punk kid"?

I wouldn't and I try to look decent while I detect. I usually wear a t-shirt I got after volunteering for a local charity.

I've always felt that the average person looks upon younger folk with more skepticism than they do with middle aged people.
