Greetings!
Allow me to introduce myself. I am a former engineer with a chemistry background who has a big interest in history. I set up this blog as a way to track my humble beginnings in metal detecting. When I was around 11 years old, I got a metal detector from my dad - some generic Radioshack type with an analog readout for a signal. My first hunt was on the parking lots of my local fairgrounds. I found a bunch of modern coins and also unearthed part of a large sheet of aluminum. Not much of a haul but it was enough to spark my interest. My interest waned as high school started. It was not until recently that I recollected back to that time in my youth and it reignited my interest in the hobby. I hope my writings will not only help the novice, but also the experienced metal detectorist.
