Hello Digging Prayers.
I'd be interested in joining you for some hunting if still looking for someone. I have to warn you that I'm a complete novice. I have the basic equipment and have found a few items on my property but really don't know much beyond that. I recently retired and now have the time (or will in a few weeks) to pursue detecting.
BTW, I also live in Newton. Between Newton and Maiden actually. Let me know if interested.
Thanks,
Bill
