    Just jumped onboard

    Hi. I'm new to this forum and new to MD'ing. In fact I haven't yet bought my first detector, although I have, after much review, research, reading and asking questions, decided on the machine I will buy - the Tesoro Vaquero.

    I just stumbled upon this forum and am always happy to meet up with like-minded folks.

    I hope to have good times here.

    Thanks to you all and in preparation for my entry into this glorious undertaking I have availed myself of a number of the Easts most renowned shrinks...err, Psychiatrists to steel me for the trials I am about to face. And in keeping with this preparation I have invoked the favor of the gods beseeching them for their mercy and forebearance. And to you all I ask for your prayers and your HH'S
