    Hello All, I just joined the American Detectorist. I am located on the Texas Gulf Coast near Houston. I enjoy all types of metal detecting and researching history to find areas with high probability. I spend most of my time searching for coins, jewelry and relics. I use Fisher and Garrett machines, two water and two general purpose detecting. I am hoping to expand my knowledge and techniques through the forums and sharing my experiences. If there are others in the Houston vicinity, I always like to meet up and make new friends.

    Thanks Coinnut, I'd share weather except we have a system moving in bringing freezing rain, sleet and possibly snow so I don't think it would be much relief. I do however appreciate the mild climate that we usually enjoy.

    Hello gmwtexas! This forum is a great resource for information. If you are interested, there are 5 metal detecting clubs in the Houston area - Pasadena, Galveston, Montgomery County, Tomball, and Houston. Depending on where you are in the Houston area, I'm sure there is a club for you. Happy Hunting!

    We hunted in that kind of weather last week...until my foot got wet falling though a beaver dam Sounds like you have lots of experience to share. I look forward to you posts and welcome you to the forum.
