Hello All
I have been reading post on this site for the past couple weeks. Nice that there are some very interesting finds out there. Mine is the same old story, was into metal detecting heavy during the 80's and early 90's, but life got in the way and cut back. My wife and I quit our jobs two years ago, and just know starting to metal detect again, I think the hurricanes got in the way this time. Had to keep fixing the house and yards back up.
Here is a little background, I am 48 years old. My wife and I both put out 20 years in the Air force.
I like Beach hunting best, followed by old houses and parks. I still have four machines. Although all over 10 years old. Whites Surfmaster PI, Whites Spectrum, Fisher 1280-X and a Fisher 1235-X.
Since July 8th I have recovered 3 gold rings, one gold pendant, one nice silver rope chain, one heavy silver bracelet, 3 silver rings, one silver toe ring, one silver cross and almost 600 coins. (for some reason all the gold is 10K, makes me miss when I was stationed on Hawaii .. a lot there was 18K.
I don't want to make this too long, but i am also curious if any hunters here are near the Florida panhandle?
