Hello From the USA

Post by MN_Digger »

Hello,

My name is Jeff and I'm located in central Minnesota, USA. Have been swinging a coil for the better part of 15 years now; with a 5-6 year hiatus in the middle to raise two daughters. The kids are out on their own now so I've had time to pick the hobby back up. I have ancestry, on my dad's side, from England (Dorset area) and Wales (Cardiff area). I hope to one day spend some time over that way doing some metal detecting, site seeing and landscape photography...it's a truly beautiful part of the world!

I look forward to getting to know people here and sharing stories.

Jeff

Hi Jeff, and welcome to the forum. [81/]

Yep, once the kids have flown the nest is a good time to reacquaint yourself with the hobby. [88/]

You will find a wealth of information and advice in the sub-forums, and anything else, just ask.
