Unfortunately, I'm 61 years old this year! Better than the alternative though! 
I started detecting around 1975 or '76 and have been at it off and on, until 1998, when I let it become a proper addiction! 
I have used just about every detector made since around 1985 up until 2006 and most of those, that mattered, before that.
I mainly Water Hunt with an Excalibur and CZ-20, but I also coin hunt a lot, with a few different detectors I have had for that purpose.
I am not brand loyal, but I favor Minelab, then White's and then Tesoro, for my purposes.
I had always LOVED getting a new detector [new or used] off a UPS truck!

Hey Chuck,

      What's wrong with being 61?   I'm not far behind you, and as you pointed out, it sure beats the alternative.   We're glad you decided to join our merry band.  Look forward to seeing your finds and to benefitting from your experience.

BA

Ya but, Now i'm ugly! I'm attaching 2 photos, one from this year at 61 [ beautiful little granddaughters though! ]and one from when I was 37 after a days fishing. I always tell everybody, that when I was born, I was so ugly, my mother wouldn't even breast feed me - - -she said we'd just be friends!  Angry

 Hello I'm glad the cold has passed here. I'm also glad that no iguanas have fallen on me lately!
I'm also glad I don't live in Alberta Canada in January!  Shocked
Ya, i'm just a wipper snapper, compared to some-but it still hurts all over!  Wise
I detected for about an hour a day for the last 5 days. One small 14kt childs ring. 1 silver ring, $13.53 in clad, no silver coins Undecided
I'm having fun though and doin' what I like to do the most! [or maybe 2nd most  Devil]
I like this site!  :Smiley
I've been a member at [maybe I shouldn't name competition websites?] the 2 biggest detecting sites, TD and FF since around 1998 Tnet too. One of your members "Rich" showed me your site. Very well structured and nice folks!  Teach
I'll be a lurkin' and postin' around here!  [detecting]Thanks and you will see more of me!
Chuck,Diggin'it in Florida
