New To The Forum

[pennyfinderjim]

Hi to everyone. I am new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. Name is Jim. My machine is a Garrett ACE 150 which I started using in spring of 2007. I have tried to get out as often as I can, but, I am somewhat limited in my free time to MD. My wife has a kidney disease and she has to have dialysis 3 times a week, so, in order to take care of her, I have to limit my excursions somewhat. But, she is doing just fine and getting better all the time. I am 72 years old and a native of NC. We have resided in Greenville, SC since 1996 and don't have any plans to leave (well, not right away, anyhow). I usually do my MD'ing fairly close to home at some parks and a closed Air Force Base which is within a mile of the house. I've had some luck with finding a lot of clad, 2 silver coins, and a couple of .50 cal. machine gun rounds there. Nothing special except one of the silver coins is a 1941 quarter. I really enjoy reading all the posts and hope I'll have something good to contribute soon. Thanks and HH to all!!! Jim

Loonies? Wizards? So which are you?

We also have lurkers, smart alecks, Doofuses. But you also have those fine upstanding, respectable, US citizens (like myself) who are valuable contributors.

BTW - Welcome to the crazyhouse Jim.

Welcome to the forum Jim. I know what you and your little lady are going through. My wife had the same problem until I was able to give her one of my kidneys. What the heck, you only need one. It was just a miracle that we were a blood match as none of her family stepped forward. Anyway, thoughts and prayers with you guys.

I look forward to seeing your future finds!
