Thanks for the welcome Guys, Yes this is a rich civil war relic area here in North carolina, the weather is still decent here about 40 degrees but will be 62 sunday & sunny. I have been detecting since 1980 started with a Nautilus silver king then Nautilus dmc1, Nautilus dmc11, Garrett Ground hog, whites MXT, Garrett Infinum and now Minelab Etrac. I also had gold claims in Alaska for several yrs. 22oz's over a 5 yr period (summers only lol)
