I was asked to introduce myself here once my account was validated.
I'm a hobbyist hunter who has always had a love for history and found that digging up real history was something I could spend hours a day doing and really enjoyed. I also like being out in the world enjoying my day and spending less time in my desk chair.
I have, what I believe, is a solid entry level setup:
Fisher F2 with 8 inch circular coil
Garrett pinpointer (just got for fathers day, what a game changer)
A gray ghost detecting pouch that was an unexpectedly significant improvement
A small plastic brush for clearing dirt from coins without damaging them.
I live in Utah and while there is quite a bit of history here, I am always jealous of those who live on the east coast when it comes to detecting. I plan to hit some ghost towns this summer and hope to find some cool personal effects of the people who settled in these tows before they went under.
Anyone with tips of advice on how to be a better hunter, please share it. I am considering a coil upgrade but will start a post dedicated to that shortly.
