Evening everyone;
We just joined up,and wanted to introduce ourselves.My name is,Todd,and the wife,Kathryn.Our nicknames are:grin:ugger{as I'm usually saying:Get 'er dug upto the wife,and she is:":grin:igger,as she usually digs.Proud to annouce our newest member,fellow detectorist in our group:Rodderick,male dauschund we rescued few months ago,he's about a year old next month we think.He loves to help us dig our plugs,and dig in our holes! For never being outside a good portion of his life,he's doing great.His nickname is:cheesysmile:iggie :)
We started metal detecting with whites spectrum xlt,confused us somewhat,to say the least.We just bought from kellyco,Mpx pro' & Mp3 pro'.I just picked up for the wife,her 1 st metal detector,a whites coinmaster.We figured since the xlt is confusing,we'd start over ith simpler detectors,than work them,learn basics,skills increase to use the xlt as it is meant to be used for.I guess I kinda' jumped the gun,hopping into a bmw with blind folds on.Neither of us really understand the basic controls on xlt,or our mp's,coinmaster.as the wife has said many a times:doesn't do us any good having a cadillac,when you can't even drive a buggy!....
We have found some clad,and silver,no shortage of bottle tabs/caps,some jewelry~but not enough to even break even with the xlt,let alone the 3 new ones we just got this week heh heh heh...one day we will,once we learn basic controls such as;sensativity and discrimination,well,xlt has a lot more,but we gave that up,until we learn these more simpler ones.
We're located in Northern vermont,Saint Albans city.We're just starting to go out metal detecting this year.As many others,we've been getting rains pretty much everyday for over 2 weeks.Our adult children,who also enjoy metal detecting,have been doing it for over a month,down ther ein Illinois,herrin.They been teasing us with thier finds.This year,our 1st silver is a:standing liberty half dollar 1949 in great condition.It was on a hillside,not too deep either,only about 2-3 depth .
well,we look forward to meeting you all in forum,reading your stories and finds.We'll post and share our stories and finds as well,every so often.Best of luck to our fellow detectorist and may your batteries last hours :)

p.s.~which link in here would help us to learn the basic controls/functions on detectors? to help us learn properly how to read and understand settings? thanks again!
