Ima 55 year old married guy living in the panhandle of Texas.  I have a Micronta 4000 I bought at Radio Shack 10 year ago and never used it.  But since I have been to sites like Kellyco looking at newer models, I'd have to say I am impressed with the features of this old detector.  You have to manually tune the electronics on start-up, and also tune the ground interference yourself.  It has a meter for ferros and nonferros, as well as two auto settings for discrimination which really aren't auto because you have a separate discrimination/sensitivity knob you can use when in the discriminating mode.  So it looks to me like although complicated, this machine will help me learn alot about how to operate a detector.  I already have a plan afoot to buy a newer, more expensive detector by getting my honey involved.  (She will need a new detector, right?)

Hey!  Excellent advice!  And if that doesn't happen soon enough, I have a friend who owns a pawn shop and has PLENTY of used rings.  Who would ever know?

I will be moving to San Antonio for a couple of months, and then on up to Idaho and Washington State.  In each place I plan on joining the local metal detector clubs because I know that is where I can find out about local laws, sites, techniques, and fellowship with other enthusiasts.  But I'm itching to get started, so then I found this place...YEA!  All the same things except done over the internet.  This will be fun and informative I'm sure.

Welcome from Texas

You would be surprised how many detectors end up in pawn shops keep your eyes open.

Yeah, there's nugget hunting here, but it still ain't Texas.   I was born a Texan and I'll die a Texan no matter where I hang my hat in between.    (Besides, I dare say there are probably as many or more gold coins to find in Texas as there are in Arizona....and gold is great no matter what form it comes in).
