Hello...... new to this hobby. Bought two new machines from my local dealer in Plainwell, Michigan, and two days later it snowed 4 inches. But we're excited to get going, we bought a White's Treasure Pro, and a Garrett AT Pro, not really beginners machines but we didn't want to get bored with our machines and want to upgrade in two years. So we spent a little more and bought two machines I think we'll be happy with. Hit a few targets in the yard with the White's as soon as we got home, just foil and junk, but it looks as if we'll have no trouble getting familiar with our new toys. Looking forward to hitting our local parks as soon as I can find out what the rules are about such things. Dave
