Hello, my husband and I are brand new to the site and to treasure hunting. I came across this site by accident earlier this year when I was looking for information about a coin. After reading some of the wonderful finds, I turned to my husband and said, "We have GOT to get a metal detector! This looks like alot of fun!" We spend alot of time treasure hunting at antique stores, thrift shops and yard sales just as a hobby. It gives us quality time together. I thought this would add to our bonding time, get us out for some fresh air and exercise and who knows...maybe make us RICH and FAMOUS!! LOL!
So, we just bought 2 detectors...another treasure because we got both for $22 at an auction. One is a Discovery 3300 and one is a Coleman. We don't know a single thing about either one and have no experience with metal detecting. But half the fun on any journey is the adventure along the way! Thank you for this wonderful, inspiring website. Here's to hoping we all find the ultimate treasure...living life to the fullest and enjoying every minute!
