Stumbled on this forum and spent hours reading post. I live in Morgantown WV and detect with a Minelab xterra elite. Fairly new to detecting but have been quiet a bit. I enjoy finding old relics and trying to put a story of the area together, also enjoy parks and finding coins old or new. Look forward to learning more and seeing y’all’s stuff also.

Hello from Jacksonville FL.
I was born in Rivesville, and so was my mother, of course a bit earlier than I, and my dad was born on a farm in Osage. I'm actually planning a trip up there soon with my shiny new xterra elite. I've still got the majority of my family up there. Some in Morgantown but most in Fairmont.
Be seeing you around the forum.
