Hey all!
My name is Josh and I’m new to the forum so I’m here to introduce myself. I’ve been interested in detecting since I was very young. My first detector was a small one mode toy that would detect a couple inches in the ground. My grandfather used to hide coins around the cottage and tell me to go treasure hunting. I never found out until years later that he had hidden the piles of coins. I grew up away from the lifestyle, never thinking much about it other than when I’d see someone swinging at the beach. After graduating college I bought a Bounty Hunter Fast Tracker that was very good at coin shooting but had no display so it was very ineffective in trashy areas. Finally, this past September (2017) I purchased the Garrett AT Pro and it reawakened my childhood love for finding treasure. My oldest find to date is probably a square nail or possibly some flat buttons (not sure of the age of the buttons). My best find to date is a buffalo nickel. I’ve found several rings but only one that was anything half decent. I detect as much as possible and I’m starting to look for folks to hunt with. I’ll be hitting up the buddy thread soon! Glad to be here!
