Some of you may remember me, I was last here in the spring of 2010 when I stopped detecting. Well, I have decided as I near retirement to get back in when we hit March.... Everything untouched for 10 years... Still have the dfx for which I was featured by whites for my 10,000 coins found in a year and another article about a few other finds... Seems 2 of 3 batteries holding a charge lol... Still need to find my Lesche digger and a few other things...pin pointer still works...
I just found out Whites is gone! Detecting in the forest preserves here was completely banned in 2012, the majority of tot lots now have rubber mats.... and I will never find that many coins in a year again...lol...burned me completely out.
Also unfortunately I remember just before I left having a discussion on one of the sites with a detectorist who used to go into areas with water under bridges... heard he had drowned metal detecting... rip...
I still have the Explorer SE I had purchased and was learning at the time I stopped...
So as I clean through my stuff I found a message someone had written me here in 2011 about a key chain I had found, apparently their father had worked at the company...hausman keychain. I sent an email to the address or if you see me here contact me, If I can find it is yours...just no idea if I still have.
I also still have my old Coinmaster 6000 di (first detector). Well just wanted to stop in and say hi.
I had to go buy a belt for my rock tumbler for a few thousand coins I never cleaned, then I will begin reading these posts to get up to speed.... Looks like the Explorer and DFX have been replaced by the equinox...
Might take a look at one... a lot has changed... as will my goals... wish I could find my old logs...maybe they will pop up...will be asking some questions in the next month and cleaning coins..glad the tumbler started spinning with the new belt...
