i've been detecting for a few years now, nothing fancy.love to do it, not much time to do it.been using the same detector the whole time.so i get home from work the other day and a gift was there for me!!![attachment 138640 DSCF3507-1.JPG] yep,the XLT. i couldnt believe it!i have'nt been that exited since....heck, i cant remember when.well, i took it on its maiden voyage this weekend with ohio fred. we came across some information about an old site that had a jail,store, and a tannery.a block of sandstone on the property had been a corner stone of one of the buildings. it was dated 1894.awsome.after obtaining permission we started our search.about 3 hours of hiking through the thick brush all we found were some old bottles and a couple of super old dump sites. we will have to go back as soon as some of the vegetation dies off.i learned alot about the XLT though. but alot more to learn.thanks again fred.
