    Newbie of the day

    Hi All,
    I just found this site from addy at Lost Treasure.
    I see there are some local Ill people here.
    Pretty bad when the state you live in is a sick one. (ILL - Illinois)
    And worse when your ex-governors are making your license plates.
    Mean while back at the ranch. Praying for an early spring thaw.

    May your machine beep some bling bling.

    Welcome from east central Illinois!

    We're glad you joined the forum, Ron!

    The good thing about Illinois is it's the 5th most populous state in the nation, which means there were lots of coins and jewelry items dropped over the years. Of course, that also means there are many detectorists, so you've got to stay ahead of the competition.

    Best of luck to you in the coming year and happy hunting! We are looking forward to your participation on the forum!
