    Cheers from Northern KY

    Hello all.
    My name is Ron and am located in Northern KY. I have been detecting for a couple years now and love the hobby. I use a Whites VX3 and I am fortunate enough to hunt in Northern KY along the Ohio river Valley. My work has me traveling a fair bit and I am hoping that I can get together with some of you in my travels for a hunt. I'm also looking forward to hearing about your finds and stories.

    Kind Regards

    Ron

    Hey Skamaniac. I am a transplant here originally from Spokane. Looking forward to getting back there next summer. There are a lot of great old railroad towns that I would love to visit.

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