I joined this forum 10 years ago today, February 26, 2011. What a great decade it has been. When I joined the group I didn't even have a metal detector. When I asked everyone what machine I should get several people recommended the Minelab E-Trac. I placed an order for one from Sun Ray Detectors in Hazelton, Iowa and it arrived around March 10, 2011. With this machine I found so many bucket list items it's impossible to list them all.
But the finds are secondary to the great friendships I've made here. I've been detecting with Full Metal Digger, Ill Digger, jkress, rgorman, Digger Don, Digger Al, Noah, Moosapalooza, zrickkid, Silver Star, JTGold and Bell-Two. I hope to meet and detect with other forum members in the future.
Thanks to all of the great members here for the knowledgeable insight and the entertaining posts! Here's to another 10 years!
