Hello all,

Just stumbled onto this forum while searching for a certain coil. Been digging for awhile, 12 years or so since I got my first real machine, a DiPro. It's been 35 years, though, since I built one with my father, one of those Heathkits. Didn't find much with it, of course, but the seed was planted. I live in Northern Va., a place that was once a Mecca for diggers. Unfortunately, I got started too late. Seems everything has been developed/paved over now. I currently use an E Trac, with an MXT backup. I look forward to seeing great finds and learning as much as possible from you folks.

Welcome to the forum Ray :) Glad you found us! You definitely live in a place with lots of history - too bad much of it is under pavement crying01

Very nice machines. Looking forward to seeing your finds!

Welcome to the forum Ray. Welcome from Mississippi. Looking forward to your finds and post.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Great site. I'll post up a couple of my 2013 finds as soon as I find get some spare time from the kids.
Dan, I'll be back up to Ct the week before Easter. If the snow's gone, I'd love to do some more digging. I found a bunch of cellar holes last time I was up but had to leave before I could explore them. With my luck, they've probably been hit hard.
