    New to the American Detectorist Forum

    Hello everybody. My name is Robbie and I live in Hamilton, Il. Been detecting on and off for the last 30 years. Looking forward to being active on the forum and possibly going on a hunt with some of the members. If anyone is ever in my neck of the woods drop me a pm and we will hit some of the spots that I have.
    Hunt hard & Hunt safe!!!

    Welcome from Washington state. There are quite a few IL hunters on the site and they seem to do well.

    Welcome & HH, like to see some things you found. Here in AR we seem to be geographically challenged as many people didn't loose many coins! We are going to have to travel to heavier populated areas it seems!
