    Hello from Michigan

    I've been an avid detectorist for the last 4 years or so. I primarily use the Etrac but I also use the XP deus at old field sites. I have 4 kids all under 13, who often tag along with me when I venture to old parks or schools.

    I decided to join this forum mainly because it seems to be pretty active...Im always looking to get some advice, give it when I can and viewing everyone's recent finds. And I see that some of my favorite YouTube guys belong here! DaddyDigger got me interested in this hobby about 4 years ago.

    Bucknut (Jared)
    Detectors I use: Minelab Equinox 900 & Manticore
    Favorite finds I have made:
    1,000+ silver coins
    92pcs of 1700's Trade Era Silver
    Copper Culture Indian Artifacts
    125+ War of 1812 Era buttons and relics
    My wife     (probably should have started with that one)

    Thanks Dave! I found it and the Capped Bust 5 cent in April this year on back to back days. Should I post it in recent finds section?
