hello everybody, Being new to the group. I am very excitied about exchanging thoughts, and expirences with so many people, interested in the same things. I hope that I can contribute as much to the group, as everyone else has. I am new to metal detecting. And have about a zillion questions to ask you guys. Thanks for the opertunity to join in the search for the Golden egg! I am just now learning the DFX 300. I have been using the XLT, and a Teknetics T2. This is only my first full season using detectors. And trying to get in as much as I can, before the ground freezes up on me. I live in SouthEast Michigan. I'm 58 years old. And a retiree from General Motors Truck.
