I would love to meet up with someone to detect. I am in southern NH and was just thinking of posting if anyone would like to meet, I wouldn't mind taking a day trip. Unfortunately there are a couple of caveats, or at least things you should know first:
1. I am female. I am very happily married, but I do NOt want to start trouble with anyone's wife when I show up at the door when she is expecting her hubby to go metal detecting with a dude, and instead there's a chick on the doorstep waiting to spend the day with her hubby out in the woods.
2. being female, I am RAD trained in self defense, and I am a hell of a shot. leave it at I am not worried about heading off in the woods with a stranger. better yet if we hit some parks or somewhere more public.
3. I am a weekend warrior metal detector. I am just learning a lot of stuff and I would actually appreciate advice, so dont feel like I would be insulted if you gave me some pointers. I would appreciate them.
4. finally, I have a health condition and we would be proceeding a little slow. It's called POTS, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and what that means is that I can and often do pass out upon standing. I never lose conciousness but all the up and down of metal detecting will often put me on the ground. My metal detecting partner now doesn't even stop swinging. just glances over, makes sure I didn't hit my head, and continues on. no need to panic or call 911, its the best thing for me. I will even out and get up shortly.
so if you can live with all that...hit me up! I am not working because of number 4, and would love to go hit new places
