Tahts-a-dats-ago Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I've long been a lurker here, and have learned a lot in the process (thanks to all for sharing your knowledge). And thanks to Steve for sharing his incredible wealth of knowledge. I live in southern NJ (close to the DE bay). Mostly I hunt old permissions - sites that date back 200+ years. For me it is more about the hunt than it is about the find. I like the unknown aspect of it - who lost it, how did it impact them, what was their life like, etc.. My user name is derived from a Louis L'Amour book - Tahts-a-dats-ago was a character in one of his books (I used to collect books by L'Amour). I mention that because people often ask where the moniker came from. My current machines: Makro multi Kruzer Nokta-Makro Anfibio (multi) Tesoro Compadre Garrett Apex XP ORX XP Deus Minelab Vanquish 440 (bought it for my wife) Best of luck to all 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kick the coals in the campfire and sit down for a while ....did you find anything good lately ? Not me... But I'm not giving up that easy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not giving up that easy. Thanks for the welcome. I haven't been hunting for a bit now - too hot and family matters (my father has cancer) that matter far more. Once I can get back to hunting the Deus will get the use for awhile anyway - I need to learn that machine so I know what it is telling me (better). After that - all but the Compadre and Vanquish will be used. The compadre is mostly a loaner for the neighbor's grandson (when he wants to hunt with me). The Vanquish is my wife's machine, so I only "use" it when I'm helping her learn it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Ha, mind if I call you TaDa? ? Don't want to break a fingernail copying and pasting your handle. Welcome. Looking forward to seeing you grow with the Deus, and posting finds from those old sites. I have seen and heard it's a heckuva detector. I'm not "too" far away in northern-ish VA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCR Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Welcome. You have good, historic ground to hunt and a very good selection of detectors. Take care of your Dad, but take a little time to care for yourself. Cooler weather is on the way! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hopefully it is a hobby, as to some it is their profession). Good Luck & Happy Hunting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
