    Hello from Missouri

    Retired and have rediscovered metal detecting now that I have time. I upgraded my old Whites for a Treasure Master Pro and been having a great time. I used to go with my Dad back in the late 70's and early 80's he had a Whites 5000 Coinmaster that I still have. Looking forward to checking out some new areas as we travel a lot now since we have the time . My first find with the treasure master pro was a V- nickle then a 1896 Indian Head, all total the first day 23 coins and 1 musket ball. I had forgotten how much fun MD is.....Happy Hunting....

    I know how you feel about digging some older items. I was wondering where in Missouri you live? My younger brother and his girl friend are living in Rogersville just to the East of Springfield. They are looking for a fellow TH'er to join them for a day of TH'ing. Let me know if you are interested and I can share their info with you.
    Thanks
