    New to Metal Detecting from West Texas

    I wanted to introduce myself as a new member to this forum. My wife and I are new to this Great hobby; we love it. We are blessed with tons of private land to hunt on with a very rich historic background. We hope to make new friends here, and benefit from your vast knowledge. We, also, hope to meet other Metal Detectors in our area to possibly detect with.

    Glad you two found us and welcome aboard I'm thinking it's a bit warmer down in Texas than it is here in Massachusetts. Feel free to share you stories and ask any questions you may have. We are all here to learn together. Glad you discovered the great hobby of metal detecting.

    Welcome to the hobby and our forum...from Nevada.

    If you're ever in Vegas, send me a PM...we'll hunt a bit.
    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.

    Welcome from NC! I love history and Detecting is a great way to connect with history and the people who lived it. Welcome to this great hobby and good luck. Looking forward to seeing your finds from TX...
