Happy New Year, and new member from South Mississippi.
Hello, new to metal detecting here, and in South Mississippi. I figured it'd be a nice addition to my other hobbies as well as being a History lover. Always ready to learn and maybe meet up with some folks to learn some "on the job" skills.
Regards

Hi all, fantastic forum I've lurked on for some time, figured I'd sign up. Currently located on my sailboat, Bahamas cruising for the next two months exploring the Bahama Bank between Bimini and the Berry Islands. Just some basic SCUBA/hooka gear and a whites detector.

Hello, all! 1st time here. I retire next month from 20 years in the Air Force and wanted to pick up the hobby of metal detecting. Looking to start exploring in the Central Coast of California and welcome any and all stories and pieces of advice!
Hello Everyone, John2 here.
Just last week I discovered you.
I’m happy I did.
I had run a general internet search for “Sheepherder Gold” after finding a copy of it in my personal library (apple boxes). Treasurenet came up early in the list of search returns. I investigated (as we are wont to do, aren’t we?).
After reading the “Treasure Mountain, Colorado – Lost Frenchmens Gold” thread, and being thoroughly fascinated by the high IQ discussions there, I quickly joined for more (IQ that is).
Now, here I am, 75+ year old, overall failed but undaunted weekend gold prospector. I’m currently most interested in the author of the book Sheepherder Gold, particularly his account of the mine La Ventana. I found some interesting commentary on his story in one of your very own forums. Thank you.
And, thanks for the invite.

Hi, I'm a new member from NE Georgia (Athens area). I have a 9 yr old that is passionate about detecting and wanted to upgrade his Bounty Hunter to something he can use both here and at the Florida beaches. The more I research the more confused I become! Any suggestions on a detector under $400? Also, we signed up for a Meetup detector group for this area that is now defunct. We would love to hear from anyone regarding places around us he can go or even pay hunts.
Thanks so much!

I've been a member since 2016, but this is my first post ( took me long enough). My wife and I moved to Kokomo Indiana last July ('21), Have a cute little house. I know, everyone ask why move away from snow capped mountains, where everything is green year round and the salt water right at your door step? It's a long story of why, but basically the economy skyrocketed. Living on SS, we had to move. I have friends that live in Indiana. so here we are.
I just got the Vanquish 540, but the ground is frozen solid. I have a few places I want to go and swing, but now everything is covered in snow with more on the way.
I first got a taste of metal detecting with a Coin Master, then moved to Bounty Hunter-Lone star, Fisher CZ7, and now the new 540. Anyone in the area that would be willing to take a newbie, pm me.
I love doing research for new area's. But finding out who owns the property and getting permission, is something I need to learn. Just found an app on who owns the fields. Looking at maps of 1800 and before, more research.
I'm also interested in Panning for gold. Did a little bit on the Wild Cat Creek, I also found sun stroke too... that really wasn't what I wanted. Next time I go, it won't be in the hottest part of the summer. I have a sluice, blue bowl, Home made miller table. classifiers.

Hello, all. New to the site. I am 49 yoa and in North Georgia. I'm originally from Southern Indiana. I am into artifact hunting (from any past events or time periods) and I am currently working on researching and vetting all the Georgia lost/hidden treasure stories I can find. I use a Nokta Makro Simplex+. I started out as a kid with a White's detector in 1978. Got away from the hobby for decades but I have always wanted to pick it up again and so I have. I look forward to learning a lot on here.

Yes I guess that would've been nice if I'd introduced myself after joining the group, sorry!
I'm from S. Central Pa., 63 y.o. and retired. I started detecting in 1981, took a hiatus in 1985, and resumed detecting again in 1991. Since then I've been detecting mostly in and around Huntingdon County, with a few trips to surrounding state parks and the Outer Banks. I own all White's detectors, with a recent acquisition of a brand new V3i from an estate sale. I'm a certified Master Diver and have recovered various items from nearby Raystown Lake (with and w/o a detector), new and old swimming areas, and numerous items in those stare parks I mentioned above. My oldest item (everyone always wants to know) consists of a silver hand-hammered 300 B.C Roman Tetradracym coin. It's larger than a half, smaller than a silver dollar, but much thicker. This was found in a swimming area also, and I have no idea how it got there! This was verified by Mark Parker of Western & Eastern Treasure magazine fame.
