Hello everyone, my name is Ed and I am new to this site. I do not get to detect as often as I would like, but love it when I do :yes: I have a whites xlt, a Tesoro Cibola, and a Tesoro Tiger shark. I have problems trying to figure out what to detect for, and where to go (many places). I live in upstate NY and am trying to get my 13yr old and 8yr old daughters into the hobby. I look forward to posting pictures of some of my finds(so I can find out what they are) and getting to know all of you. Thank you :grin:

Welcome to the forum, Ed! Glad to have you here! We would love to see some of your finds. My 11-year-old daughter seems to be moderately interested in metal detecting. I don't force it on her, but sometimes she asks to tag along.

Good luck and happy hunting!

Welcome from the nutmeg state.
 
favorite find so far is a coin I need identified and will be posting a pic on here soon...I believe the date is 1782...on the front it says Brittans rejoice your king restored...and on the other side it says Docto.....something...I need to post the pics...its a large coin...about the size of a 50 cent pice or so and really thick...details are pretty good so I am sure you guys can let me know what it is....

I'm with you about not getting to detect as often as would like :yes:

I have 2 kids I'm hoping will get into the hobby. 4 yr and 6 yr old boys- so far it's my 4 yr old enjoys enough I plan to buy him detector for 5th b-day. It's nice to have a hunting buddy (adventure buddy)!

Good luck with your kids too lol
