Hey guys, myself and a few others in the area are tossing around the idea of starting a club that would stretch 50ish Miles surrounding Mattoon/Charleston(Coles County) As of right now there is nothing set just trying to see if there is enough interest, i would like to find at least 20-30...

How about making one asking new members to put at a minimum their state and type of detectors they are using and type of hunting they enjoy in their about area. It really helps us give them some advice that is tailored to their needs.

This is a public service announcement to all members who have not filled out their profile. At least tell us the state that where you currently reside. This helps us give you more specific advice. Someone living in AZ can be given different advice than say a detectorist living in Miami. Plus...

In the past two weeks ran into two detectorists at a park near my home. I walk my dog in that park M-F and hunt it with my 800 from time to time. Both were relative new to metal detecting and they read this forum but are not members. hmmm, I wonder what is the number of non-members reading...

Hi everyone!! I just got into metal detecting recently and joined this forum so I can learn more about the hobby. I'm a coin collector and I thought that I should expand my passion to metal detecting as well. I'm from Chicago, so if there are people from around here, hit me up and I'd be happy...

Hi everyone, just want to introduce myself. I'm Debbie and I'm up near the Tennessee line in Alabama. I'm VERY new to metal detecting, in fact, I'm still very confused about how to operate the Bounty Hunter Land Ranger that I have just acquired. I have blundered into getting it to work a few...

Greetings fellow detectorists. I am new to the forum and wanted to get right into it. I am located in Fayetteville NC and have been detecting near the Cape Fear River. Can anyone help me identify this coin? Should I clean it a little more? The quarter is for comparison and is slightly smaller...

Hello everyone I am brand new to metal detecting, and have only been at it for a couple of months. Purely by chance I ran across someone you all know as NectrarDetector, who actually knew one detector from the other, which I did not. So I told him what my budget was and he hooked me up. I wound...

I started this hobby with a bounty hunter tk4 and fell in love. Realizing I had a very beginner machine and surely missing good targets in trashy or naily areas I began to research a new detector. I finally decided on the AT Pro and saw Big Boys Hobbies mentioned here. I emailed Bart, got a...

Howdy! Any other Austinites or central Texans out there?

Hello, My name is Wayne, and I live in Texas in the DFW area. I bought my first detector last summer, a Garrett AT Pro, and have been having a lot of fun with it. I'm always looking for new techniques to make my coin & treasure hunting more effective and efficient, and look forward to...

Hey folks, New member here and new at this hobby. I am currently working in South Korea near OSAN Songtan area. I just got a Garrett AT pro sports package today garrett hand scoop and Lesche Digging Tool . I have a SS water/sand scoop (on the way) and other items in route such as...

Hey everyone. Glad to be here. I was interested in the hobby as a kid with my dad, and now I'm older and just went out and bought a new metal detector. Bounty Hunter Sharp Shooter II. <--It's entry level but I wanted to get the hang of the sport before I could justify to myself to spend a lot...

Hey! I just started hunting about a year ago. I was given a Garrett and it was a great learning tool. I recently purchased a Ground EFX metal Detector and will be using it this week, since the snow finally melted where I am. I hope this brand will be worth its money. Has anyone used or heard...
