I started detecting in 2010 then had some medical issues in both shoulders.
Two weeks ago I saw some one in my neighborhood whites told him I had a DFX.
But after a few digs my shoulders began to bother me again.
If I took the meds the Docs want me to take you would have to prop me up in the corner and watch me drool. So I just take enough to function.
Decided the DFX was to heavy killed me to use for more than a hour. So I decided to sort this out.
I got a Garrett AT PRO w/ 5X8" coil Adventure pack. Dam this machine is light and after us'n the DFX pretty easy to use.
After hunting today in old hunted out places, I got 5 good hours of use. My first Indian head, two Wheaties in my yard I seem to never find with the DFX and a good handful of clad.
The best part is that my body is not toast. And the fun in the hobby seems to be back and I never have to leave my neighborhood, its a old neighborhood late 1600's to present. I live less than a 1/2 mile to Reeds ferry and 5 miles from Mathew Thornton's Ferry. I live at a 1812 house and can't wait til next year to do the Merrimack river down the road.
Ah well Wanted to say hello, the bug is back!
