Great to see you getting back out there! It's always nice when an old spot finally opens back up. Good luck on your hunt!

Really cool finds! Sounds like that long hike definitely paid off, congrats!

Nice assortment. A 1948 quarter, some gold, silver, and a Porsche fob. That's a solid mix. Good hunting.

Nice work, Todd! Sounds like a smooth process. Glad it all went through cleanly. Keep those finds coming!

Hi Dan, thanks for the warm welcome! I've got GoldXtra TGX-Lite to learn the basics with. Mainly hitting beaches and parks until I feel more confident. Cheers!

Hey Randy, good luck with the search! It's an older machine, so keep a close eye on the online auction sites. Hope you find a good one soon!

Amazing hunt! That British Coat of Arms trade band is a seriously cool piece of history. Congrats on a great weekend with so many incredible saves!

Good to know they deliver without issues. Is the price reasonable for the quality you're getting after a few years of use?

Welcome! It's great to have an experienced detectorist from Italy here. Looking forward to learning from you!

Welcome to the hobby! It's awesome that you're retired and looking to explore the outdoors. Those woods and fields sound like great places to start, and you'll learn a lot just by getting out there and swinging. Most of the fun is in the adventure itself, so don't stress about the finds right...

Amazing finds! Copper Culture artifacts like those knives and spear points are fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
