Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! Things sure have changed since I detected long ago. My tool kit at that time was a garden trowel, some plastic bags, a nail apron, a small shovel and an ice pick with the tip rounded off. Those things haven't changed all that much but boy the electronics have sure taken off! I'd for sure like to have a hand held GPS unit but I'm getting way ahead of myself there. lol
I haven't decided for certain on a detector yet. I have a shoulder problem and the weight and balance of the machine will likely have a lot of influence on the purchase. I was sort of leaning toward a Prizm III but am not set on anything yet. Suggestions are always welcome! I'm glad to see there are some other folks from IL here. And hey, Free2Detct, I live not far from where there used to be a little village called Swisher, IL. Not sure how much info you might find on it. Of course since this is corn and bean land it's all plowed over with naught but a little wooden sign to indicate that it was once there. There's Swisher Hill that's still there, too but it's just one of those historical names that carried over and as far as I can determine wasn't actually at the village site. Anyway, nice to meet you all. I'm off work today so I'm going to take my mom to some garage sales and then go to look over some detectors.
