Hi all,

A new member from Western Massachusetts. I just (20 mins ago) met a fellow member swinging the coil in a public park near me. Unfortunately I already forgot his name. Sorry....

I started swinging the coil in April of 2013 and immediately got hooked. Found a 1/10 oz Kruggerand in just the fourth whole I ever dug. I showed a picture to the fellow member I just met. Im sure i'll be hanging around in here quite a bit. Love the hobby and love learning about the hobby.

Happy Hunting to all

Hi and welcome to the forum! :)

Sounds like you met George. (What were you doing in a park, George???) He is one of the best ambassadors of the hobby that you will ever meet.

Looking forward to seeing more of your finds!
