Been relic hunting and metal detecting for quite a few years...getting back into it after a hiatus for a few years (sometimes life gets in the way). What I like the most about the hobby is the historical research that goes into finding sites. Besides metal detecting, I also enjoy hunting for, and collecting, Native American artifacts as well as old bottles and marbles. Happy hunting!

Welcome, MN_digger!  Sounds like you've already got the 'bug'.  Have you ever accidentally stumbled upon marbles or bottles worthy of your collection while out detecting?  I don't mean when you've intentionally gone to a dump site but rather were just detecting an old site, got a signal and while digging that out found some keeper glass.

Thanks for the welcome folks!

GB_Amateur, I haven't inadvertently dug keeper bottles but have dug numerous marbles up with adjacent detected items.  Had an arrowhead in my water scoop four or five years ago. That was pretty exciting!
