Hello, Noob here from Idaho

[FmrMarine]

Hey guys,

I thought i should say Hi and introduce myself.
My names John and I love metal detecting. I can't say I've done it that much but I want to get back into it and now that I'm living in Northern Idaho I'm hoping to take it out in the forest and around the rivers.

I used to detect back when I was living in California with a Compadre. It was a good detector but I really wanted one with a screen around $200 to $300. I then sold the Compadre, moved up here, and have been eyeing the Fisher f2. I can post another thread in a different forum since this probably isnt the place to ask questions but while I'm here let me just say this. I recently found a Whites Prizm IV and a Teknetics delta 4000. I can get either one of these detectors for the same price as the Fisher f2.
Does anyone have preference between the three? Should i get the whites or the teknetics since its a low price or is it no different than the fisher f2?

Thanks guys and hope to hear from you soon

Go for the White's Prizm IV. Those are killer. Teknetics isn't too bad either.

Welcome to the forum and glad you got back into the hobby!

I've found 3 civil war buttons in Spokane parks. Also have found other old military items. There was an article in a magazine a while back that stated a lot of used civil war Union uniforms were sent to the forts in the Inland northwest. You will be surprised by what you can find anywhere.. Welcome and good luck
