Hello Steve!! I have been detecting for the same years as you, some years less than others but recently
more invoved. I too have been going over past hunted sites and finding more. I just got 2 new machines this
fall and learning that they are different animals than the old 15 year old Bandito that I have, althou it is still
a GREAT machine for relics. Do you belong to a club? If not, the OMTH is a great one, they meet at the
library center on S. Campbell the 3rd thursday of the month at 7pm. They are planning some exciting events
for 2007. I went to my 1st organized hunt with them in October, it was fun!!
Happy Hunting, Mark
