Welcome from Illinois! :waving:
We're glad you joined us here, soilman! A buddy of mine is a math professor at Texas A&M. He's not a detectorist though, he collects comic books. (My other hobby.)
It sounds like you went through a fast upgrading curve with your detectors. How do you like the XP Deus so far?
Whew, I was starting to feel sorry for you. :lol:No I'm Bear from The Ozarks. Just ended up here in the cult world of aggieland.
