Kinda New

[Dentron20]

Hello everyone, I am new to this site but not that new to the hobby. I got my first detector back in 73 when I returned from an overseas assignment in the USAF. It was a Whites Coin Master IV which I used for about three years until I upgraded to 5000D, also by Whites. I started out the hobby as a coin shooter and did that for about 14 years until I got interested in Civil War Relic hunting. I have been doing the relic thing for the past 25 years. Thanks for adding me to the site.

Daniel,

Welcome from Illinois! :waving:

Glad you joined the forum, Daniel!

I, too, had a Whites 5000D back in the mid 1980s and boy did that thing wear my arm out!

You have been at this for many years and you must have quite a collection of finds by now. We are looking forward to your participation on the forum!

Welcome from out in California! :cool: Sounds like we may be close in age as I was discharged from the Navy in late '72.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome to this site. It looks like I finally found a home......so to speak. Del, The CJ-7 is a 1985 model that I have had since 91 and which I turned into a woodie in 2003. It hasn`t seen mud, sleet, rain or snow in ten years...........lol SeabeeRon, My last duty assignment was at Castle AFB in Atwater, California. I got out in 1975 at the age of 24 and stayed in your fair state a couple of years to finish my schooling. Again, thanks all
