    New from MA

    I was fortunate enough to meet the ledgendary Angel in the flesh a few months ago at a site we were both hitting. I also had the pleasure of meeting John at the same site over a few weeks. We pulled some great stuff out of there. Angel told me about this site and I've been following it for awhile, but I finally decided to join up. I've been hunting for about 20yrs. I started of in TN civil war relic hunting, then someone broke into my car and stole my 2 detectors. So I was out for awhile. I moved north about 9 yrs ago. I picked the hobby back up about 3 yrs ago. I hunt with a Garret 1350, love it! I started with a White's detector, but after relic hunting with another guy who had a Garret MAster Hunter who just followed behind me picking up more stuff than I was finding, I changed and haven't looked back.

    So Far: (0) Silver; (2) KG, LC 1807; (2) IH; (3) Buff


    2013 Total: 36 Silver; 5LC (including 1 FUGIO)
    2012 Total:101 Silver; 11 LC

    Dan, enjoyed your article on cellars. Something we don't have down south, opens my mind to possibilities up here in Yankee country. I have changed from relic hunting to coinshooting since moving. I have found that I actually enjoy it more. It also helps with the wife who gets a bit frustrated at me for taking her kitchen counter over after an outing to clean things up. I tell her at least I have a hobby that makes money instead of just forking it out. If I were to come home with what she deems junk all the time, my life would be a bit harder.

    Welcome Rob from another Massachusetts guy. Don't worry, I survived a couple of hunts with Angel lol After a couple of days off, it doesn't hurt as bad Can't wait to see what you find. Look around and have some fun admiring the things everyone else is finding. We have a gallery section (Media) that is to drool for lol
