Been Metal Detecting on and off since 70's. Have a White's Eagle Spectrum, White's Eagle Spectrum XLT, Garrett Freedom Ace Plus, and a Teknetics Mark I detector. Am retired now and looking forward to swinging a coil if this weather ever changes!! Found this web sight and it looks informative and interesting.
thanks,
ALF
