I have been detecting for around 3 years. Started with a minelab Explorer XS (wish I still had it) then upgraded? to my present preoccupation a Equinox 600. I live in the area where the “Hunterston Brooch” was found so that got me interested in detecting. I have land permissions but find since I live on the coast I mainly beach detect. Never joined a forum before so I know it will take time to learn the ropes, be gentle.

Welcome from New England. I also have a recent purchase of the Nox 600. I've used it inland a couple times but wouldn't say I'm good with it yet. Scotland, that's really cool. What crazy cool finds you will have. Good luck.
 
Greetings, Geordiefinder! I believe that is Lowland Scotland, is it not? I believe my wife's family is from a village in that area, Dunlop, then, via Northern Ireland (the Plantations era?), arriving in time to get settled in Pennsylvania and enlist in the Pennsylvania Line to fight in the American Revolution!

In any case, good luck to you.
 
Good luck.

You might be interested in my greatest find, found in the SE USA on the border between Florida and Georgia. It’s a silver antique Scottish medallion. I have sent photos and information and questions to museums, universities and historians in the US, UK and Scotland researching it.
While it has a number of Scottish phrases, illustrations and mottos, the 2 mottos, TOUCH AND I PEARCE (Pierce) and I MAKE SICKER (Siccar) are related to MY family. I Mak Siccar has been our motto since 1306 when one of my ancestors helped Robert Bruis murder Red Comyn in the Greyfriars Church.

You never know what you may find.
