Default Spring

Hi Everybody,
As of last week, spring is here. I told myself in January that i would have my detector by spring. But not yet, with having to move etc. Been wanting my dector for years lol. I will get it this year,by summer for sure. Since i live in Arizona now, instead of Alaska, i can hunt year round.

Some people may think i am not right in this decision, i do not even have a car right now, but saving to get my detector first lol. "Have detector, pick me up" LOL. Metal detecting has been my passion for years, i want to join in on the fun, the finds, the stories etc. I so want to be like all of you who have a detector and go hunting. I feel like a bystander sitting in the back row of a ball game. I want to be like you!

I have a low paying job right now so saving is tuff. But i will save. I am even applying to work part time on the weekends now, just to get the money i need. Don't know where to go yet, or how to get there, just pray for me to get my detector first, then the rest will follow through.

I love being on this forum, reading all your posts, your finds, your opinions, stories, like a big family. Happy Hunting!!

Congratulations Kid, you're going detecting !

Your prayers have been answered before I even got to say one, but will for your financial situation to get stable.....it will, sounds like you're doing what you need to be doing, sometimes just takes time.

Tinman, what a great thing to do, but it doesn't surprise me a bit. We need more Tinman's in the world!
