what MD are you swinging? if it's the ACE250 I used it all last year with great success and could show anybody certain tricks of the trade with it. I have the E-trac now and I am still on my learning curve but I think I have got a handle on it.

Do you need help with the at pro or 305?

We could figure out how to disc out some items, but digging some trash will occur.

I just go a F75se so I will be learning my metal detector as well.

well we all have the different MD's covered! but that's good for all of us, we can each see how the other guy's MD works. we can all learn something.
I know nothing about the ATpro, so can't help ya there...I would just keep watching Youtube vids and reading other guys posts.
I was totally lost on the E-trac when I first got, and I know for a fact I walked right over great targets...skeeterbait dug one up !
I received alot of great advise and how to from other forum members. now I am really getting it! why don't we set something up for Sunday...56 and sunny!

I'm down for a Sunday morning hunt. I like the sound of the fairly untouched park area. Or I'm open to someplace new as well. I won't be against traveling towards Lockport for a hunt.

Everyone throw out some ideas.

what's that?

no social networking here, this is about as close as I get. many from my past think I'm deceased...I like to keep it that way. I wasn't invited to my first high school reunion because I was thought to be dead!
still freaks people out who havent seen me in 20 or 30 years..."I thought you were dead?"
Skeeterbait has my number, anyone wants to talk can PM me for my number.
and I don't text very good either
