O.K. nobody told me where to go.(which isn't normal)
But i jumped ship also. I actually found a link to this forum on another forum (not the one that's gone crazy) And low and behold, a bunch of names i recognize. I even know where Kenfen is hanging out now.
I've not been at that other forum long and don't have alot of years of detecting behind me. So i'm here to learn, and help as best i can.
I'm in Michigan, i'm retired and i like digging in the dirt!
