Hello let me introduce myself. My name is Byron Im from Indiana Fort Wayne to be exact. Ive been detecting for over a year now. I started with a radioshack/bounty hunter look alike for the majority of the year. This fall I bought a new bountyhunter quickdraw II they both are ok as far as im concerned. But last week I got a GTAX750 I havent got it yet I got it off ebay. I only paid $260 for it which isnt that much compaired to a new one. What can peeps tell me about it and how well it will work and any major issues with it? Does garrett even sell that model anymore? does anybody own one that can give me some tips and clues or ideas on it opperation.
Some of the cool stuff I found this year with my other detectors. My first silver I found was a 1921D mercury what a coin to find. About 3 weeks later I found a 1894 barber half about 10 feet from where I found the mercury. About 300 feet away I dug a 1941 washington. Not to mention the 3 wheats in the same hole. Now this was all from the same park and all in the spring. Later in the summer at a different park I dug my first ring a small silver ring. In this same park I dug my first buffalo a 1938. At the third park I detected i no more then turned on my detector and it had a hit and I had my second silver ring. It is nothing more then mexican silver but its silver none the less. All in all this summer I dug about $120 in modern.
I am looking forward to having my first big name detector I wont be able to use it anytime soon because although its been a very warm winter here. This past week it has been cold like it was back in December. The gound is frozen solid at the monent so there isnt gong to be any detecting soon.
Well thats about it for the moment I hope to be a regular poster here. Thanks for anyhelp you can give me
