Hello everybody,
My name is Jay and I got my first detector for my golden birthday when I was nine. It was a Radio Shack model and I never really had the patience to learn it correctly back then, however, I picked up a Garrett AT Pro (sports package with the 5x8" coil) and a Pro Pointer AT. I did search and rescue growing up, hiked, and have been geocaching for most of my life and am interested in metal detecting to get out and explore some cool places.
I have searched around and have found some threads that suggest areas to start, but a lot of the topics are older, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone has any updated lists?
I would love any links or tips for new people, and I would also like to get together with someone some day, but I am a locomotive engineer with BNSF so my schedule is all over the place. To start, I'm just looking for some places to start hunting. I went to Bradley Lake Park yesterday and found some pennies and fishing weights, but still lots to learn.
Thanks for reading!
Jay
