Hi there, I'm Triahna, and I'm new to the hobby of Metal Detecting. I've always been fascinated and interested, but until recently I've never had the time, as my husband and I are Over The Road Truck Drivers.
We're taking a year or so off, and now I find I have time to devote to a hobby. His is Amateur Radio (Ham Radio), and I haven't had one until now... I know.. 45 years old and never had a hobby.. I've always been busy working.
So, I bought an inexpensive model to start.. It's a Quick Silver, with a pin pointer, and I have discovered that my NC red clay/mud yard is also loaded with iron ore that makes this thing go crazy...lol I can set it to "ignore" the iron, but hmmm.. what if I do that and miss something good... Oh well, I'm having fun, and that's what counts. I have lots of woods behind the house.. maybe I'll find some civil war brass buttons or something...
