Retired and had to have a hobby

[USN SubChief (Ret)]

Hey Ya'll from SWGA. I started detecting back in the early '70's and stopped when I ran away with the circus (US Navy). Now that I am 100% retired, I had to get into a hobby to get some daily exercise, so decided to get back into detecting. Got to give a BIG shout out to Bart @ Big Boys Hobbies, ordered my Ace350 while sitting in my deer stand this afternoon. Got a super sweet deal from him & had my tracking number when I got back to the truck.

Welcome aboard USN and thank you for your life long service :usaflag:I also started in the early 70's and let me tell you things have changed a lot :lol: The machines are fantastic but the coins hide a lot better these days. Glad you found us, and hope you enjoy your well deserved retirement.

Welcome aboard, Chief.

I know you're a bubblehead, but do you play Acey Deucy? If so, you and I are the only ones left... I think. I was an Army aviator, but was stationed once with a bunch of brown shoes. I spent a lot of money learning that game.

I know you'll enjoy this hobby. If you get to Vegas, send me a PM beforehand. I'll show you the real town.
