Hey ya'll! What a nice site you have here! I'm just getting into the treasure game at 37 years old, and I know a heckuva lot about flyfishing( you wanna know what size tippet to use with a 4 wt line and a #12 BHHE, I gotcha covered! ) and NOTHING about detecting.....or "detectin' " as it's surely called here in the South!
I've kind of wandered my way over from some gold panning sites. You see, I live about 15 minutes from the gold belt in GA and I tried to get into that, but after seeing some folks dredging rivers for day and coming up with little or nothing, I think I'd rather be finding something - even if it is old pop tops!
I just finished reading the "funny things while detecting" and I was crying I was laughing to hard. Surely you folks that are into this hobby have a great sense of humor and I love to laugh myself silly!
So, I just wanted to say hello ( or howdy, or hey, or whatever ya like) and say that this detectin' thing sounds like something I'd enjoy! If there's anyone from North GA here and you wouldn't mind me going with you sometime for just a couple of hours I'd appreciate it. That would probably let me know if I was going to like it or not. ( Of course, I don't want anything you find....I just wanna get a taste of treasure hunting! )
Thanks and I'll be asking dumb questions only from now on. heh.
