Howdy everyone!
I'm new to this board and metal detecting. I have always plucked up silver (and even some gold!) coins as a result of some great advice from my great grandpa when I was a kid.. But they have become increasingly hard to find over the years and I thought I'd try my luck at metal detecting and even gold prospecting. I've picked up an inexpensive metal detector that seems pretty good at locating coins and even small gold nuggets - I haven't seriously used in "in the wild" but I've tested at home by burying already-found treasures.
I'm interested in sharing information and getting together with local people (and reasonably distant people, in my state or surrounding states) to metal detect, prospect, etc. I have some good old places in mind as I grew up in small towns in central Utah... I'd love to talk to some seasoned pros but I don't have a lot of time to join a group and attend meetings. I have a family and work two jobs and go to school right now so my free time is temporarily limited.
Nice to be here and absorb all this great information! I look forward to meeting you all and learning everything I can. Can't wait to dig up that first piece of silver.
