Thread: New guy here!

    New guy here!

    I am not exactly new to metal detecting, but I am new to this site. I am currently stationed in Italy. I love to metal detect, I think its the thrill of the hunt. I look forward to meeting new people with the same interests as me. I am currently looking at buying a new detector at the moment as well.
