    Hello

    Hi Folks,

    I'm new to this forum. Been swinging the coil about 5 years now. Guess that makes me a toddler in detecting years. Most weekends will find me in the woods near a cellar hole in pursuit of those elusive old coppers. Best wishes to all!

    Re: Hello

    Welcome from another Illinoisan! Glad to have you here, Lodge Scent! Very clever handle! thumbsup01

    I'd say that five years is enough to put you past the toddler stage. If you've stuck with it this long you must be a lifer.

    Best of luck with your hunts and I am looking forward to your posts!

    Re: Hello

    Thanks for the kind welcome folks! Dan, I don't know how managed NOT to stumble upon this site earlier 8/ . Yeah, the DF site has gone by the wayside. But hey, this looks like a great site! I get out with Jdog quite often and we managed to get Evan down for a hunt a few weeks back. Hopefully I'll have some goodies to post on a regular basis !

    Welcome aboard from southern Nevada.
    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.
