Dave, I have been on/off detecting for roughly 20 years. Started young while I was in Ohio, and now live in IL. A little bit harder here in IL. with permissions, and folks that do not want you in some parks and such. I love this hobby, and I love old coins! Not really a relic guy, but if I was around more CW type items, that would probably change as well. I live up around the Round Lake area, and hit the oldest farms and areas I can find. Love to hunt with others, just not to many takers around here, I guess they are worried I will take there spot!! It is a great hobby, and I truly enjoy it. Hope to hook up with fellow dirt sniffers, and find some history!! I travel a bit with my job, so I get to hunt just about every State, if I have time.
Short and sweet, pretty simple guy.
Keep your coils to the dirt!
