Why metal detecting? Because it's fun!
My journey began like many other newcomers to the hobby, watching Gary Drayton on Curse of Oak Island. Soon after, I discovered that detectorists were documenting the hobby on their own YouTube channels. In the Summer of 2018, I borrowed a $60 detector from my brother’s garage and headed to the local river beach. I was thrilled to find bottle caps, pull tabs, pocket change and even a few toy cars over several hunts. I had no idea at the time just how basic that detector was.
Later that year I upgraded to the Fisher F22 and sharpened my skills in parks and ballfields, finding plenty of clad and bling jewelry. By the spring of 2020, it was time to up my game and hunt for older treasures. After much research, I invested in a Minelab Equinox 600 - a versatile machine well-suited to my Midwest detecting adventures. Join me as I dig the dirt life!
I almost forgot...Gotta Love It!
