Detector(s) used
A Whites detector in the 70s and 80s. Nothing currently but looking.
New to the forum and looking to maybe dipping my toe back into the hobby. MD as a pre teen/teen with my father in mid 70s to early 80s in which we used a Whites MD / no discrimination. It was top tech then but obviously a dinosaur compared to what is out now.

Majority of our time hunting was in NE Fla and various GA locations during which we had a great time finding treasures of all sorts but mostly Civil War era and some Revolutionary period items.

Looking forward to where this may take me now.

Regards
Mark
 
Welcome from the Oregon coast !

Well that is a great welcome. Thanks to all. I will check that Forum.

Right now I am trying to wade through the countless detector variations which are numerous! A whole lot easier way back when.

Guess I need to figure out the environments that I will be hunting in and then go from there.

I can recommend only a Nokta Legend or Legend2. The Legend is the only high performer I am familiar with. It is great in all environments over the last few years. Super on the Treasure Coast beaches. Legend2 may be a step up. I'm sure there is a comparison on here somewhere. Your search for a detector could be as hard as your search with a detector :laughing7:.
 
Sandog,
I appreciate the input and Nokta was actually on my list to review.
 
If you get waterlogged, you can always move out here to New Mexico and enjoy the dryness... And then some!

Welcome aboard.

Never been but it looks like beautiful country out there and will visit but born and raised in the Free State of Fl with no State income taxes. Trust me we have looked elsewhere but don't want my pension taxed beyond FICA.
Best regards,
 
Welcome to TNet Mark from Michigan. We have all left you a few pulltabs in the ground and remember that you will need to dig them if you want to find some Gold.
 
Welcome to a great forum Mark, from central NY. If you need advice on cans or those pull tabs, I'm great at finding them! Enjoy the adventure!
 
Welcome !
