Hello All, I am new to this and hope to have as much fun as everyone seems to be. My brother has been detecting for about a year. And everytime we talk, he tells of the good times he is having while taking his daughters to the park and so on(while using his metal detector). Well, I bought myself a Bounty Hunter "Fortune Hunter". I know it's not a million dollar unit but I think it will work for me. I guess you have to start someplace. And I'm starting here. I really like to read about all the "tricks of the trade" so to speak. My luck has it raining outside right now, so I have to wait acouple of days before I get to go huntin. Can't wait. I feel like a kid in the candy store and mom say's NO you can't have no candy right now. Anyhow, I really like this site and will be posting my finds, as soon as I find something. Thanks guy's and gal's for all the Great info I have read on this site. Thanks Joe
