Howdy from Washington State

[Bulldog]

Howdy all. New to the forum and looking forward to meeting and talking with you. Just a little bit about me - I'm a 53 year old ex-police sergeant who likes detecting, and dredging for gold on my claims here in Washington. I'm also an aerobatic pilot who flys a Skybolt biplane that my dad and I built over a 12 year period. I'm also a martial arts instructor and taught defensive tactics for the police department. I now try to spend allot of time on my Harley, and I get out occasionally with my X-Terra 70 to hunt in local parks for coins and treasures - all depending on the weather here. >:{ Anyway, it's nice to meet you all and thanks for letting me be a part of this forum.

HH,
Bulldog

Sure Dan, here's the pic of my Skybolt flying over Puyallup, Washington. Pic was taken from my buddy's Skybolt (you can see the flying wires between his two wings on the left side of pic). I'm flying from the back seat - my dad's along for the ride in the front seat. We're cruising along at about 160 mph. She's allot of fun to go upside down in too!. Yeehaww!

Welcome aboard Bulldog from western Massachusetts. :clapping: So..... :thinkingabout: Police sergeant and trained in martial arts :thinkingabout: :thinkingabout: We need to hire you for some parks we would like to detect around here lol That would make us safe enough to hunt thumbsup01 Sounds like you have some great hobbies as well as a great family. Thanks for finding us and joining up. Hope you do well at that park and strike up some old coins.

[Bulldog]

Bulldog... glad to have you here with us on American Detectorist and it is our pleasure that you joined the AD community. :yes:
Great introduction and it looks like you have the right vehicle to cut down on travel time to detect a few sites. lol
Looking forward to your posts.

[Bulldog]

lol Yup, she cuts down on travel time pretty well... but at $6.20 per gallon for aviation fuel she don't go far! >:{ Although the Harley does get 40 mpg so with the detector strapped onto my back I should be able to get those far away treasures! thumbsup01 That is when the rain and snow stops! >:/

nice to meet you. this is a very friendly forum. youll like it here . we have something in common in a certain sense . i use to jump out of helicopters and ruin peoples day . but that was long ago ... at least you can talk turkey if a policeman tries to give you grief for detecting
