Hello everyone:

I am new to MD and my 1st detector is due to arrive tomorrow. I bought a Garrett APEX and I hope I'll be happy with it. I did a lot of searching on the internet and settled on this machine,

I am a retired USAF Air Traffic Controller and live in South Jersey, about 30 to 40 miles from the coast.

Looking forward to finding something buried.

thanks for your service Steve. happy you must have been able to survive Ronald Reagan's war on controllers.

you are going to have a lot of fun!
 
Welcome from Winnsboro, South Carolina !!!!

I used to work on the electronics on the Navy F4 Phantom jets back in the early 1970's and one time while I was working a shift on a land base I think I might have unintentionally aggravated the control tower, I was in the cockpit of an F4 checking a reported problem with the radio, I think I called the tower maybe about 6 or 7 times asking for a radio check and got no response, if I remember correctly I think it turned out they could hear me but I couldn't hear them, I probably should have stopped after calling maybe 2 times asking for a radio check and not hearing a response :lol:

:fmdfwelcome: We're glad to have you! I, too, am interested in hearing what you think of the Apex once you've tried it out. It sounds like a fantastic machine, and I hope it works well for you!

My thanks to you for serving our country.
