Hello fellow detectorists.......

[slvrsrchr]

Hi there-I have 1 "season" of metal detecting experience, so I consider myself an un-educated novice. Looking forward to learning from those with much more experience. To date I have found 3 silver dimes, a small silver ring, lots of clad and a ton of trash. I recently upgraded from a Fisher F4 to a Garrett AT Pro, once the 2' of snow melts and the other 2' of frost comes out of the ground Ill be looking to try my new machine out. I live in central Maine-

Welcome from the other coast in Washington state! You've done great for one season. I also have an AT Pro; I think you'll love it.

Welcome to the forum and there's a great bunch here too :thumbsup01:

[OxShoeDrew]

Lots of people swinging the AT Pro on internet videos...May keep you satisfied until the thaw. Probably not :lol: I look forward to seeing your finds. Your second year, with an upgrade machine, should be very exciting for you. Welcome!

[slvrsrchr]

Thanks all for the kind words everyone.........it's snowing yet again, expecting 8-14" of the glorious white stuff tonight, should be able to start swinging the coil about mid-may at this pace............ugh!

You guys are getting hammered up there. :frozen: When it does melt, the soil should be nice and saturated for them deep finds to ring nicely.

[slvrsrchr]

been a tough winter, started with the coldest air we had seen in 4-5 years, much colder than normal, now we are quickly catching up on our annual snow pack.........8-10" last night, with another 6-10" forecast for tomorrow night.......when the spring thaw hits provided we don't get hit with a lot of rain, believe it or not it dries up rather fast...........doesn't appear to be a lot of mineralization though, so that's good........

A late welcome to the forum from Kentucky :waving:
I'm with you on the frozen ground- not as much snow here, but albeit still frozen :girlcry:

Like some others mentioned you're in a great location for older finds- looking forward to seeing/hearing about your upcoming hunts! I use V3i but have several friends here in Ky that do very well relic hunting w/ their ATPros :thumbsup02:

[slvrsrchr]

Broken Record time...........4-6" more inches forecast for tonight.............looks like June before we will swing any coils up here (not really), but wow this is crazy. Thanks again for the welcome's.!

Hello and Welcome to the forum from John in NJ... :)

[KCFindIt]

And a warmer welcome from Georgia, although we had a couple of "stay inside" days. I feel and am very fortunate to be able to get out currently and get some swingtime in. Stay warm and keep hoping!

Welcome from central Illinois! :waving:

Glad to have you here, slvrsrchr! You live in an area with lots of history. I am jealous of the finds that can be unearthed up there in New England.

Best of luck and happy hunting!
