Hello everyone. Name is Jeff, and I live in upstate South Carolina with my wife Jennifer.
I recently registered on this forum just to see if anyone could tell me what an item was that I've had for years in the "What Is It?" thread, and that went very well for me.
I haven been looking for the site quite a bit in the last couple of days and I am amazed! I just never realized there were so many people out there who did this kind of stuff. I myself enjoy doing things estate sales, storage auctions, yard sales, flee markets, and thrift stores to find unique little treasures to keep, or to resell.
I haven't owned a metal detector since I was a kid (had a cheapo from Radio Shack), but I am seriously considering buying one. I know there is a chance that I will never find anything, and I am OK with that. But all of this, all of your finds, all of your stories have really gotten me interested, and I think I want to be a part of this great community of treasure hunters, and collectors.
Anyways, I'm rambling on.
Again, thank those of you who helped me with my unidentified object in the "What Is It?" thread, and I look forward to learning everything I can from this forum, and hopefully I can find my own treasures one day.
Oh, and one more thing...
Roll Tide!

If I lived in South Carolina I would be getting a detector as fast as I could. With all the history around you there is no doubt you WILL find stuff. The most important thing to do to find good stuff is to do your research. Look at old maps, look up military camp sites, historical areas etc, and get permission to hunt those properties. It's there. Good luck and happy hunting.
There are lots of folks here from SC so hopefully you will meet a few hunting buddies. Cant wait to see what you start finding. Also remember this; we ALL dig trash. If you don't dig trash you wont find treasure. In other words, dig it all until you know what your machine is telling you
