new here

Hey all! My names Jimmy and Im a new detectorist :). I have been wanting to metal detect since I was a kid, and have gone through phases over recent years where Im hooked on watching (real) metal detecting videos. Im a Twitch.tv IRL/gaming live streamer and have had the idea to do metal...

I've always wanted to get into this hobby, primarily to get rich, of course. So, I spent a considerable amount of money on gear, including a new Minelab 900. Now, I finally have everything I need to start finding pennies. However, I do have an issue: I have no idea where to go! I've done some...

Here is a pic of my finds on July 4th 2023 at an elementary school that was originally a college. Its been around since about the 1890's. Did about one hour of detecting here. I'll be posting footage on my Youtube channel soon with my Go Pro so if you're interested in metal detecting and cool...

Hello all!! I'm ready to get back into this hobby, had a detector quite a few years ago, a Fisher F2, so really an entry level detector. I used it for a bit and found a few things but life was busy for me. I did sell the F2 a while ago and have been looking to buy something a little better...

Hi To all. I am Bert and I’ve just started on my journey on a great new interest of metal detecting. About three weeks in ,and using for starters Garrett 250 and a carrot. I have had some interesting finds ,even thinking of upping the ante a little and getting a much better detector.Anyway love...

Hello All! I'm new to the forum and new to metal detecting. I'm really excited about getting into it. I don't yet have a metal detector, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for something under $250? I'd prefer a discounted used model if it's better than a new one for a similar...

HI all, my name is Julian and I am new here. I am also relatively new to metal detecting! I have about $1,000 dollars lying around and want to get a good detector. I've been running off a couple of cheap, weekend hobbyist hand-me-downs from relatives and wanna treat my metal right. Any...

My name is Olivia and I am from Nebraska. Im a freshman in college and I loooooooove metal detecting.

I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I have only been detecting for a little while but I am really enjoying it. I am hoping to learn some things from you guys and maybe be able to help out some as well. I'd really like to meet some fellow MD'rs from Nebraska - Lincoln or Omaha Area - so...

Hi Everyone, Thank you for running this forum! And for let me be part of it. I'm sure I will learn a lot and have fun at the same time. I'm brand new with just 1 day. Yes, yesterday in a crazy impulse I opened craigslist and I end up buying a metal detector. I never used one but I always wanted...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and thought I'd introduce myself. I got into metal detecting when I was only 10 when a friend of my dad's brought his detector over to show us how it worked. We walked over to an old cellar hole and started scanning the ground. I carried the shovel and...

I just got a metal detector and went on my first hunt in North Alabama yesterday. Got a quarter ('89) and a few other small tokens. Nothing of any real value - I don't think. Seeing as how Alabama has a rich iron and steel history, I've found a ton of scraps like that. I know there is a...

I just order an AT Pro its in the mail that's how new I am. Looking to find someone who can help me out with MD and Maryland laws. I'm in the White Marsh area so if someone can help me out. I'm off on the weekends and if I can get away from my Kids. Thanks, JC
