This is the only hobby where 99% of the time you come home with more money than you left with.
I have been metal detecting since Christmas of 1997.
That is when I got my first metal detector. A Bounty Hunter Quickdraw II. Since that time my wife has acquired a Pioneer 202 by Bounty Hunter and I have gotten a Garrett GTI-2500. I now use the Garrett all the time and the QDII as a backup. My wife's Pioneer 202 is the same as the QDII but sold through Wal-Mart.

As the sign above states, I was on fire for
detecting for a number of years and then on
May 12, 2006, I had some kind of an attack and spent
5 days in the hospital. The doctors
thought that it was a TIA, where stuff breaks lose in
your arteries and acts like a stroke or heart
attack but dissolves before any permanent damage is
done. The first 24 to 48 hours
I didn’t know if I was going to make it or not. I am sorry to
say, I haven’t detected since then. I have found a few boundary stakes for
friends and
my son-in-law who is a realtor but other than that,
no detecting.
Some coins and other objects that I have found in the past are pictured on the Finds Page.
