    Ok here we go, haven't had any great finds mostly glad coins, mule shoe, few fired modern bullets... With that being said I have not been able to hunt anywhere as much as I have wanted. I have had to work out of state. Now I'm focusing on MDing as much as I can... I have been using a Ace 250, Garrett Pro Pointer, Leshce digging tool, Predator Samson T-Handle... but my mouth is watering for an Minelab E-Trac...But my wife says I'm

    and it sounds like you have all the essential tools to get serious with the hobby | | |

    heres a little info about Wives ....
    unfortunately their usually right about most things lol lol



    the good news is theres hope for anyone to improve their skills here and you never get that good to where your not learning something new , do alot of reading up on what your after (goal wise) to find and it will happen and you will only get better at it .
