Got an PM today from a newish member, saying he feels awkward posting as he's the new guy in town, and asking me a question about a particular detector brand.
Just to put it out there, I don't care whether someone has been doing this for 3 months, or 30 years, once they join our community, we're all on equal footing. Yes, some of us might be better at some particular aspect of the hobby, but let's face it, nobody here is making a living from treasure hunting. So, we're all in the same boat, at the end of the day.
I've been doing this hardcore for 10 years now, and while I think I'm a decent hunter, I probably only know a tenth of what many other guys do. But, I still have my experiences, my thoughts & my opinions, which I freely share. They may not be correct all the time, others may not agree with them, and they may even come across as ludicrous to some, but that's okay, because we are ALL here to discuss, learn & exchange information, while we try and have some fun at the same time.
Whether you've been hunting for a week or a lifetime, whether you've been a member here for a day or since day one, nobody is above anyone else.
I say all this because, if one person mentioned it to me in private, others too might be feeling the same way. And if you are, don't. This community exists equally for EVERY ONE OF US.
