Hi Folks! Thanks for this opportunity to be a part of this friendly forum.
I'm been in Cincinnati, Ohio for 8 years now and I'm getting back into metal detecting after not doing it for almost as long. I had a Fisher F4 a short while but sold it for financial reasons back then.
Now I'm lucky enough to be able to buy an XP Deus with WS4 and the 11" coil, Gray Goose headphones, the XP MI-6 pinpointer, and also the Deus HF Ellipical coil. All but the HF coil I should have arriving today, with the HF during the upcoming week. I'm very excited to give MD another try, and try to give the hobby its best shot (that I can afford).
My #1 goal, however, is getting off my ever heftier butt and get at least some exercise and movement outdoors. I'm thinking The Hunt will give me motivation I need. If I never come within light years of paying for my equipment with my finds, I think I'll be OK with that, but of course I hope for plenty of goodies from the ground.
I am especially big on doing historical research to target promising sites for detecting.
I welcome getting to know friendly people near and far!
I'm also a big fan of Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and I can even mangle my way through German and Spanish, so extra encouragement to people with such backgrounds or locations.
I plan to travel (again) to the UK and Ireland this summer or fall, and hope I can do some detecting there with a friendly local or more. I hope to travel to Germany in the next year or so too.
Thanks for reading my intro, and best regards to friendly metal detectorists wherever you may be!
