Thanks for the welcome all. Well I got my first machine about 20 years ago(Garrett ace), and had fun with my buddies for a few years not really knowing too much about the hobby. Then didn't do much till I got a better machine four years ago (BH platinum w/dd coil). I really started to have some good success at cellar holes and rock wall walking, but not a good beach machine, I tried a couple times. Last year I got T2 and that really changed the game. Just got the new upgrade and really itching to get out now. I have put together a decent collection of buttons(nothing too special)and buckles, and some nice bells. I probably walk rock walls more than anything else I do, so I do have a big bucket of oxen shoes. If they were only worth ...........
thanks again for the welcome and happy hunting
