    New member to site.....

    Hello folks....
    I have been detecting on and off since 78. Started out with Bounty Hunters in California when I was in the AF. Never real serious or had the time to do a lot of detecting. Now retired and still working I have the time to detect...Sometimes! Use the Etrac now, stock coil, 6" sunray and the 15x18 nel. 705 backup and a Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202 that I enjoy taking out. I've been coin shooting local area's and I'm now plotting some civil war areas. Any local folks (100 miles) want a partner let me know, although my work has some crazy hours I may get a few weekends off now and then....
    Great site.....
