    I started swinging the coil in April of 2013 and immediately got hooked. Found a 1/10 oz Kruggerand in just the fourth whole I ever dug. I showed a picture to the fellow member I just met. Im sure i'll be hanging around in here quite a bit. Love the hobby and love learning about the hobby.

    Happy Hunting to all
    Hi and welcome to the forum!

    Sounds like you met George. (What were you doing in a park, George???) He is one of the best ambassadors of the hobby that you will ever meet.

    Looking forward to seeing more of your finds!

    Hello silverhunter100397, welcome aboard this forum and awesome hobby. Thank you for your service in the military. My name is Kasey and I'm located in Georgia. I'm new, as in started detecting in November, although I've been interested in it as a youngster. Finally, life has treated me well enough to allow a wonderful hobby into my life, and I'm hooked. It is fascinating, as you will soon find out. Looking forward to seeing and hearing about your hunts and finds.
