    Welcome, Steve! We're glad you joined our little corner of the internet.

    We're waiting for the ground to thaw here in Illinois but it's supposed to be in the 50s next week so that should help.

    How long have you been metal detecting? Have you found anything extra special?

    The photo is of a page that was in American Digger. Thats my lovely lady, first time out she scored a 1940 Merc!!! How about beginners luck! The cases are CW bullets, toy cars, jewelry and such we have found over the last four years. Thanks for the interest. I'm big on jazz, classic rock, classical music.

    Last summer I did happen to stumble upon a very small, probably overnight, Union cavalry camp in my town, gave up a few bullets, Gardners, some broken down brass cases , a nice "C" button and a ton of old fence wire. I'll explore some more this week with the new Vanquish 540.
