A big hello and happy to have found this forum. i tried to post an intro earlier this evening but must have forgotten to start with a title so my intro didn't post.
My name is Bill, I am 68 years of age, and I am again starting to do metal detecting after a break of several years. I built my first detector, a Heath Kit, and found a very old Ford key with a number under 100 (I think it was from a Model "A") and a 1954 Silver Half Dollar on my first outing; I was hooked from that point on.
I then purchased a Whites Coinmaster 6000 di Professional in th 80's (I am looking for a 4 inch 6b type coil for). Very recently, I purchased a Whites MX Sport which I cannot wait to try.
I am also currently trying to decide between a Garrett Ace 400 or Whites Treasure Pro for my son. I know the Treasure Pro has both Auto ground balancing and threshold control which is important. Don't know much about the ACE 400 and would like feedback on both.
I live on a civil war battlefield in northwestern Virginia and cannot wait to try my new machine on my property. I especially like Coin hunting and purchased the MX Sport to be able to detect in wet areas.
Thanks,
Bill
