    2 month checkpoint.

    2 months ago, I'd never swung a detector. By reading the forums, reading 2 Equinox books and detecting every chance I get, I've been on a steep learning curve! I'm feeling proficient and very...

  7. My first real 'public' detecting. (thanks Bucknut)

    I had some trepidation about going out in 'public' with my detector (I suppose everyone feels that way at first). But after a very helpful confidence building phone call with Bucknut, I went to a...

    I pulled the trigger on the 800 + 6" coil. I can spend the next 2 months learning it, then off to the west for vacation.
