I am originally from Saint Paris, Ohio and was stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina while I was in the Army. Once I started college at Wright State I moved to Kettering and have been there since 2007. I do not own any heavy equipment but I spent 4 years in the Army and did one combat tour to Afghanistan. So,,, all I can say is I can dig pretty deep pretty fast if necessary.
I have just recently become a metal detectorist but I am now the proud owner of two detectors. They are a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV, and a Garrett Ace 250. I have had each for a few months. I like my Garrett Ace 250 more than my Bounty Hunter. Once I save some money back I'll upgrade to something better. After I had bought a detector and started searching Youtube for videos it was easy to find the Dayton Diggers. I then followed the link to the website and the rest is history
My best detecting find so far is either a 1917d Mercury Dime, or a 1953 Franklin Half.... Nothing too exciting yet but the future is bright. I'm new all around (I only started detecting in the fall of 2009) but I am very knowledgeable about U.S. military artifacts and U.S. coins. If I can help you with these items of interest let me know! I am looking forward to diggin’ it with the rest of you in 2010.
