James Ryan Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I am a retired police officer and took up detecting about 7 years ago. I started with the AT Pro and last summer switched to using a Minelab 600 and also a Simplex. I am looking forward to learning as I go along and also checking into the wealth of information on this site. Hope you all have a great day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB_Amateur Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Welcome, James! A lot of history in your area -- relics and coins for sure. Sounds like you have some good tools for the quest.

Valens Legacy Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 James, Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service. Sounds like you have some good equipment and the 600 will serve you well. I have my grandfathers 800 and I am still learning it, I seem to do better with the factory settings and enjoy the hunt. Good luck as I know you are in a great area for metal detecting and I am looking forward to seeing some of your finds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvpopeye Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Welcome aboard retired officer Ryan. I'm a retired musician/tech and I disagree with the lady next door. I feel that my volume level is reasonable........ Good luck in your "evidence gathering" pursuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
