NW Ohio waving a hand Welcome. It looks like your definitely off to a good start. Here is a link to the forum map. You may find someone nearby where you live.
Hit my spot again and found my second piece of jewelry. A little sterling pendant that was only a few inches down. Nothing super spectacular, but when you expect to find nothing but clad it is a bonus. As a real win for the night, I may have scored permission to hunt the yard of the house there that was built in 1840. An even bigger score might be the fact that there was a log cabin on the adjacent lot that would date back even earlier than that. Will be hoping to hear back on that soon! And of course I am going to upgrade to a Nox 800 after getting this bug a little too bad.....
