    Hello from Minnesota

    Hello forum !!

    I have been hunting for 20 years in the southern part of Minnesota. My weapon of choice is the White's V3i and my best spots are all Hunted Out.

    I want to thank everyone in advance for the knowlege I'm sure to gain.

    Vin

    Welcome from southern Nevada.

    I like hunted out places...not much clad to mess with. |
    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.

    Dan
    My most memorable find in 20 years of metal detecting is a hard question for me. We all love digging OLD silver, finding a ring that’s not junk or finding a civil war era bullet/artifact. My favorite finds are the quirky items where I need to look them up to see what heck it is and how old. One of my favorite items is this trade token from my home town. It has all the info on it I should need to find out how old and get the history of it…I can’t find a thing and haven’t seen another one.
