Just a word and a pic to say hi, don't let the pic scare ya . I'm a transplant to Michigan in 2001 by the way of Illinois, (LaSalle-Peru) were I grew up. I live in the Muskegon area here in MI now, less then a mile walk to the lakeshore. A big difference from corn and soybeans, plus the Illinois humidity. Been in this area for 13 years now and still have no use for an air-conditioner. When I moved here I bought a Garrett Master Hunter CX Plus, found some clad and the usual clutter. Other hobbies got in the way, plus that thing called life. recently have made a dedicated effort to get back to the detector and bought a new Garrett Sea Hunter because of the abundance of shoreline and water area's around here. Still have the CX Plus, just had it checked out by the factory and a clean bill of health on it.
