I'm Jim but my friends call me mack. I don't own a metal detector but want to buy and learn. Plus I have a one year contract to work in Indonesia. So I was going to buy and take a metal detector, pointer or some other stuff with me. I won't have a lot room in my luggage to pack large heavy items. I'll be working in remote locations so I'll focus the hunting on rivers. If anyone would care to share recommendations or experiences, I would appreciate everyone's recommendations very much.
Thank you and look forward to posting in the future once I'm on the ground there.
