    Smile Newbie to American Detectorist

    Hello Everyone:

    First of all I want to thank Tony Two-Cent for the invite. I really respect him as a detectorist and am in awe of his finds. He is definitely more about quality than quantity. I admire that and feel the same way...don't get me wrong...I do like quantity as well. But...I would much rather find one draped bust large cent over 10 silver Rosies.

    I'm looking forward to sharing some of my past and current finds as well as reading through all the past and upcoming posts from all of you. I hope you have a wonderful day.
