New: American Detectorist Home Page

[Epi-hunter]

Hi everyone,

The American Detectorist home page is now live. Please check it out: http://www.americandetectorist.com

The home page features members' finds, as well as articles written by members and other useful information related to metal detecting. We are still adding content to the page, and will be adding new articles periodically. Angel will add new featured member finds to the page on a regular basis as well.

There is a link to the forum from the home page, but you can also access the forum directly using the following address: http://www.americandetectorist.com/forum

Enjoy, and HH!

The American Detectorist Team

Yes, very nice clean look.

PS, I've written a newbie article on how to use Google Earth image overlay and old aerial photos. I do this alot and find the technique kinda cool and useful. You are welcome to adapt it to member articles if you want:

Thanks, Randy! I took a look at that page and it is very useful information. I'll see if I can adapt the information as an article. If so, the photos would be hosted from our site.

Thanks again, Randy!
