Drew92021 5 Posted September 2 Hi and happy Labor Day. I’ve been in the metal detecting hobby for approx 10 years and where I live in San Diego the beaches are about the only place to go, so this year I’ve joined a local GPAA group to get involved with gold metal detecting and desert dry washing. I originally started out learning metal detecting with a Garrett Treasure Ace machine and the GTAx 1250 model for a number of years and now been using a Whites MX Sport at the beach, but now this year bought a new MXT All Pro and GMT Gold Master to take on my trips. Anyways, I’ve got a Toyota Sienna mini van that I’ll be using for camping trips until I find a high clearance vehicle to go off road with. I hope to get out there soon as the weather cools down I’ll try to post some pictures. Take care, Drew 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t say I know or ever met him. What book(s) has he written? Occasionally these authors show up at the local group. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
