I'm not close, but you have the right idea.

My first interest in detecting was at about age 13, but didn't buy a detector until 28. The first thing I did is exactly what you're doing.... on a forum looking for someone to hunt with, and help me out a little. Thinking a little more, I actually seen someone online from my area and sent them an email just to say I had grown up in the same place he was living, and I too had just bought a detector. From there it can go either way, but I was lucky and he was happy to do some hunts. Things just took off from there and now it's years later. If you can find your way through the first year you'll probably be a lifer like most of us on here. But if things don't happen fast, and you let yourself get discouraged, then in the closet the detector will go. This forum should be plenty of motivation seeing what is possible to be dug.... and New York state ain't a bad place to be!

If you scroll down near the bottom of the forums, you will find a New York forum. That would be a great place to ask for detecting partners. HH, George (MN)
