    Introduction post

    Hello,
    I've been coin and jewelry shooting for a while and have gone through several (19) detectors since starting this obsession. I've never owned anything other than White's detectors primarily due to their customer service followed by the quality of their detectors.
    As part of my job, I drive all over the state, and get to detect the yards of buildings that are about to be demolished. It's an awful job, but somebody has to do it! lol
    My bride enjoys hunting with me using her M6 - that thing is a quarter magnet! thumbsup01
    I just acquired a Surf P.I. so that when we go down to Myrtle Beach during the summer months, she can run the BHID up on the sand and I can use the P.I. in the water.
    I'm looking forward to picking up tips and sharing a few as well.
    TDI, DFX, M6, XLT, XL Pro, BHID, Surf P.I. (Plus), Prizm IV
