    Just another lurker comming forward

    Hi all. I've been lurking at most of the detecting for a few years, and am now posting on some. Been detecting for about 20 years on and off, but the past few years got rehooked. I'm in southeast NH, cant wait for the snow to melt........
    Thanks for letting me be part....

    Hey Ron, Won't be long until this nasty snow melts and we can get back at it. Like Tim said, I bet you've made some nice recoveries in your 20 years detecting....no? I hope you enjoy the group!

    Thanks for the welcome all. Well I got my first machine about 20 years ago(Garrett ace), and had fun with my buddies for a few years not really knowing too much about the hobby. Then didn't do much till I got a better machine four years ago (BH platinum w/dd coil). I really started to have some good success at cellar holes and rock wall walking, but not a good beach machine, I tried a couple times. Last year I got T2 and that really changed the game. Just got the new upgrade and really itching to get out now. I have put together a decent collection of buttons(nothing too special)and buckles, and some nice bells. I probably walk rock walls more than anything else I do, so I do have a big bucket of oxen shoes. If they were only worth ...........
    thanks again for the welcome and happy hunting
