Looks like a great place to meet folks... I got hooked detecting back in my college days early 1980's.... early up to the beach to find enough change to buy breakfast and ended up in Northern California gold fields where I found my first gold.... Never looked back.... it's been a big part of my spare time since then.... Living in Southern California I hit beaches, deserts, mountains and belong to a few mining groups as well to network and go on adventures.... looking forward to more learning in here and hope to meet some of you out there in the open air!

For me it's the Garrett carrot..... I have the original black one when it first came out.... then got the "carrot" when it arrived and that thing has been rock solid... until a friend left it behind on an outing.... I bought a replacement on amazon and it turned out to be fake so I bought a Minelab 35.... it's okay but not as good as my carrot so like any good detector junkie I bought another Garrett carrot from the source and my Minelab 35 will be used by friends who go hunting with me 😉
