    New to the forum

    Hello everyone! Great looking site. I have been a member on another forum for the past 5 years or so. I did a search on metal detecting forums and found this site. I like the look! I live in Suffolk county, on Long Island in New York. I try to get out at least every weekend. Currently, I own all Whites machines. A V3i, MXT, M6, Prizm 2 and an old blue box 3900/D. The M6 with the 6x10DD and DX-1 is my go to set up. The M6 was the 1st machine I've owned. I've found a bunch of cool items in the past and look forward to posting on the forum.
    Having fun is what it is all about!

    I never claimed to be the pied piper I saw the direction the other forum was going and decided I didnt like it. Looked at a few other places and decided, for me, this forum was home. That was back in July. I told a few people about this place. I think I even sent you a message. Im very glad that lots of the group decided to settle here. If you're not having fun, whats the point of belonging to something? Glad you're here Larry!!!!

    I told my friends Glenn rofl rofl rofl Kidding with you... I came here in July. The other place just wasnt fun for me anymore. I wasnt really sure how everyone else felt. I told the people who I knew were unhappy. Some signed on here some didnt. I hear the old place is a ghost town now. Good. They got what they deserve. You know me for a few years now. I like fun. When the fun is gone its time to move on
