    Hello from Locust Grove, Oklahoma!

    Brian Thompson. New hunter. "Diggers" got me hooked, lol. Now this old Marine just needs to find a place to hunt, lol! Retired and enthusiastic! I use the AT Gold and have found some neat stuff. My oldest coin is an indian head penny, not sure of the date right off hand, but it was a dandy to me, lol! Found tons of horse shoes and millions of beer cans, but I still keep hunting, lol... Thanks for having me!

    Hi Brian, glad to have you! I remember when I found my first Indian Head - I was thrilled! Where are you from?
