Howdy. I've been a lurker for a long time, finally registered an account, and have finally made a post.
Been metal detecting for over 40 years. Started with an old, grey, Garrett BFO machine back around 1969, give or take. Used to detect for hours on end, found a nice diamond ring with that machine. That ring later helped finance my bride's engagement ring.
Changed machines in the mid 70's, went to a White's Goldmaster. The Whites uses two battery packs, and was always too expensive to re-battery before going hunting. It's now retired, and sits, dusty, in the corner of a closet. It's too light for a boat anchor, and just doesn't work very well now-a-days.
Bought a Fisher 1236-X2 years ago from the nice folks at Southern Treasures in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and have enjoyed using it. I'd like to add a 10.5" coil to it for more depth, but am making do with the factory coil until a 10.5" turns up.
Anyway, here's my introduction. Glad to be here.
