New Member Here, Not New To Md'ing

[aloldstuff]

Hi everybody. A little history on myself. Been detecting for about 4 years now, made WE&T 2008 Best Finds, always looking for detecting spots and partners. Love digging and this hobby is the best thing going. Spent 15 years golfing(now considered a waste of time by me). I have gotten several of my friends involved(they now own detectors). Fortunately I am a empty nester and my wife gets as excited as myself when I go detecting (hummmm) but she always asks upon my return what ya get.
Hope to learn some tips from this forum and meet new friends. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
