    newbie in California

    Im very new to this hobby. A week to be exact. Im from the monterey bay area in Ca. I inherited an old coinmaster 6000/di pro from my grandpa. I know its old but i absolutly love this machine. I went out today and found some really cool stuff on an old abandoned dairy.

    Welcome from southern Nevada.

    I moved from the mountains between Santa Cruz and San Jose a couple of years ago. There are lots of good, untouched areas around you.

    Good Luck!
    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.

    It's great to have you here at American Detectorist Jason.

    You found a great place to enjoy sharing the hobby with some great people. You are off to a great start.

    I love the cow spoon on the left of your photo. I've definitely never seen one posted like it before. Very cool piece.

    Thanks for the pictures and introduction. You'll fit in very nicely here.
