Hey there guys and girls, Dee here with a small introduction.
I'm a 23 year old from the East Coast of Canada, looking to get into treasure hunting.
I'll be honest, I was playing a video game the other day that was strongly based on treasure hunting and when I beat it, I got bored.
I jumped on Google and started reading up on real treasures and the people who find them, reading about Spanish wrecks, and people who find stuff in their back yards. I started to wonder why I never thought of doing this before. I'm intrigued, and it also gives me a good excuse to get out more.
I did a lot of reading and opted to not ask what the ''best metal detector'' is, instead I went on Kijiji (Canada's equivalent of Craig's List) and found a metal detector that might be worth starting out with. This particular one being a ''lightly used'' Delta 4000 from Teknetics. I did a search on the forum here and found that it seems to be a decent detector for us newbies. He wants $200 CAN for it and it comes with the 11'' DD coil along with the stock coil, which I understand should be a reasonable deal? I also believe it has the ''screw-in'' connector which is supposed to be one of the newer versions of this model.
My current goal would be to start out on beaches (dry sand mostly) and the woods near said beaches, just to see if I can dig up some interesting coins or buttons. If I get hooked on finding stuff, I'd happily dump some money into better gear and expeditions.
Just wanted to introduce myself either way so I can chime in and hopefully brag about my finds later on, while not giving away my locations, of course.
Looking forward to reading more stories and seeing more finds, it's great inspiration.
