I have too many hobbies. I switch back and forth when I get bored. I bought my first detector in '81, a White's 5000-D Series 2. I still have it and I think it still works. I never found too much back then, got bored and moved on. Does the old White's have any value?
I bought a sawmill in 2012 and have been milling walnut for gunstocks ever since. I hit a few nails and decided to buy a new detector. I bought a Garret Ace 250. While scanning logs I tried it in the pasture and found a 50's nickel. So now I have the bug for digging coins and relics again.
I hunt arrowheads and was talking to a collector friend that lives in Clarksville, TN. I told him I wanted to get a good detector and start hunting metal again. He said c'mon down. His moms house sits right on Riggins Hill, where one of the battles of Clarksville was fought on Sept. 7, 1862. He grew up there and said to his knowledge it's never been dug. YeeHaw! Planning to go in 2 or 3 weeks.
I plan on buying a good detector and will make my choice based on what other forum members finds dictate. And that is one reason why I registered here. The Deus XP seems to be leading the pack with Garret AT in second.
Great crowd, so many amazing finds here. I hope to someday be able to post something good myself. Gary

As soon as you get rid of something...that's exactly the moment you needed it. Sigh...
