Thumbs up How are'ya

Hi,
My name is Mark. I live in NC and am new to MD. My interests in ancient history, electronics, and antiques have steered me to consider Relic Hunting.
It appears that this is the right website for the hobby....great info and great folks !
Good News: Just Picked up a vintage Bounty Hunter model 840 w/ a waterproof Search coil in very good condition.
Bad News: My house is on the National Historic Register (102yrs old) so I
can't hunt in my own back yard !
Is anyone out there in the Wake Forest NC area that would not mind a tag-along hunting....just to get my feet wet?
I promise I will not tell you how we did things up North !

To admin: very clean site management, keep up the great work Barn !

Hi Mark and welcome to TQ. I wonder how long you will be able to resist at least swinging a coil in the backyard? Happy hunting Mark and glad to have you. God Bless.

Hello Mark ... I'm from NC also but about 2-3 hours east of you in Columbia which is near Manteo. Good luck with the new hobby and if you're on your way to the beach sometime (Nags Head, Hattera, etc), stop by and see me at my store.
