New Mo-sheen!

I've lurked here once in a while for years, and I signed up a few months ago. I never owned a MD, but I wanted one for years.

I remember the moment when I decided that I wanted one! It was around 1975-'76. I was very young. Maybe 12ish. We were visiting a cousin, in Culver, In. home of Culver Military Academy, and we were at Lake Maxinkuckee where a gentleman was detecting the beach. I spoke with him and he showed me a few coins and a ring that he had just found! That's a long patient wait!

Today I got a Garrett GTAX550! Wish me luck!!!!!

Best of luck mate...patience is a primary need in this hobby so you'll do well.

The spot where I live is a little wooded area that teens used to come to for many years to drink beers, snuggle up with their girl friend, or whatever else. I thought that it might be a decent spot to check out first.
I found iron junk, broken glass, and a lot of pieces of barbed wire.

Remember.. first metal detecting outing EVER!

Find number one was Some type of car part the size of a silver dollar.
Find number two was about six inches deep. An unopened prophylactic.
Irony for the virgin hunt?

Hey there!!! I had the gtax500 and it was a good coinshotting machine. I got to ask though, what kind of axe is that on your avatar? Does not look familiar. Cool looking body and nice older kahler whammy. Tim
