Hello from Deep Run NC via Lexington, KY

[spywiz]

My name is Bobby. I am 47 years old and retired. I am a veteran of the Air Force and Army. I have been detecting for 30 years, but just recently became active again. I have used many different brands including Garrett, Whites, and Minelab. I currently have a Minelab E-Trac, which I am still learning the language of. I live in eastern North Carolina. I moved here about 8 years ago, from Lexington, KY. Where I was raised. I retired from the Lexington Fire Dept. after an injury.
Happy to join this community. I go by spywiz on here, but on most other forums, My name is DiggingNC. Call me whatever you want, Just call me 4 dinner.

Bobby, welcome from western ma. After 30 years of detecting you must have some great finds. My niece is currently in the Air Force, probably a career girl. Looking forward to your posts.

Welcome from Chester County, PA. Yes, thanks for your service. As for the E-Trac, plenty of great info here -- best advice is tons of time in the field -- the learning curve is steep, but well worth it IMHO.

Retired at 47 will give you plenty of time to find some great things to post here. :-> Congratulations to you.
As many have proven here, once you learn the language of that fine machine... hold on tight, it'll be a fun ride.

Welcome to the forum, Bobby. Thanks for your service and a BIG Rocky Mountain HI from Colorado. I swing an E-trac and have been in this MD business since about 1975 and looks like you are also an old timer to the hobby. Good luck in your hunts. |:cheering:

Welcome to American Detectorist, Bobby! Your experience as a detectorist sounds very similar to mine. I started with a Garrett back in the old days, went to a White's, then a Fisher, and I currently swing an E-Trac.

Glad to have you here! Happy Hunting!
