nice! I live in the south, but grew up in CT. I've never detected up there, but I remember all the old haunts and think of them often as good hunting grounds. Wish I had a detector as a kid. So much is picked over now.

I need a new detector as my 10" coil has a short and I don't want to pay $70 for a new one. I'm stuck with my 4" now. I know tesoro was coming along as a good buy for gold bugging. what detector to you use?

I used to have a garrett too for awhile, but that was short lived = too heavy and awkward, so I sold it. My whites is circa early 90's, so I know I got my money out of it.

just talking about it makes me want to go hunt the backyard! drought though, so it's a waste of time. A steady winter rain will be nice in a few months.

we used to have a 2" gold dredge that was short lived also that we used in north ga. Too rough getting down in the terrain required for virgin spots.

happy hunting! I'd love to see more of your finds.
