I am somewhat of a beginner to this hobby - started about 5 years ago with a cheap Bounty Hunter detector. Within 15 minutes of my first attempt at using it I found a silver quarter and have been hooked since. I bought a White's DFX 300 (I live in Oregon and used to live in Sweet Home where the White's are manufactured) and have been very pleased with it. Recently I purchased a MineLab CTX 3030, and the learning curve is super steep! No big finds yet, lots of coins and one ring. But I am really good at finding pull tabs, rusty nails and bottle caps! Would love to find other users in my area.
