Hi all,
I am a new again member to the forum, having been here before but now with a new name and hopefully for good. I have been in and out of the hobby since 2005 and got the bug again last year when I bought a new house and started hunting it (not all that successfully due to the sprinkler system on the lawn) and now this year again full force.
I have been in and out of the hobby for many reasons but one of the biggest ones, stupidly, was having been unable to shake the "stigma" surrounding the hobby. Instead of just going out and finding spots to detect and enjoy myself, I always found myself looking over my shoulder to see who was watching and worrying about what they were thinking.
Well, either way I've gotten the bug big time now and feel I am here to stay. The Mrs. supports the hobby and I'm even getting the kids into it now so you know what? Who cares what anyone else thinks. It really is unbelievably fun and exciting.
I'm currently swinging a Teknetics T2 SE (non-upgraded to the DST version) with a Garrett Ace 250 as a backup. Just picked up a Garrett Pro Pointer AT after having a Vibraprobe 560 for 12 years and I love the Garrett.
I'm looking forward to being a part of the forum.
Also, despite my avatar, I live in New England, but have a strong love for NYC, hence it and the name.
HH all.
