    Thank You Tony Two-Cent and del! I have been detecting on and off since the late 1990's started with a Garrett GTA-350 w/ a Hot Head and currently using a Whites MX Sport. I spend most of my time around the parks and down at the beach hench the dsdigger, dirt,sand digger. I work a good bit so when winter hits I spend most of the time looking for places to hunt or thinking of someone to check with who may have access to property that i have not been to. I started checking on line and have looked at the online websites and they look to be a wealth of knowledge as there are those on here who have been kicking through the trashy areas for a long time.
