    64 Year Old Newbie From Connecticut

    I got my MXT Pro with DX-1 Pinpointer a couple months ago but with all the snow it doesn't look like it's going to be anytime soon that I will be using it.

    However, I have been doing a lot of reading and research on the unit and upgrading accessories. I did get the Garrett Pro Pointer and am going to let the DX-1 go, but I want to get the Sunray Pro Gold Headphones and just keep the GT Royals as back-ups.

    Can't wait for the thaw...

    Looks like a great site and I'm sure glad to be a part of it.....Frank

    Hey Frank, welcome from western Mass. You are gonna love hunting spots in CT. I hunt with Del, and we have found some nice things there. Glad you found us. Now if we could just melt away another foot or so of snow, we could maybe think of detecting lol
    Finding relics is in my blood
