Default Hello Gang from Cental Texas

Im very new to the treasure hunting scene.
My primary interest since 10yrs old has been Texas Archaeology. I would have been a prof Archie but the VNam war changed my lifes course back in 68'. Now at 57 and retired im looking to expand my interests.
Any good info about the many detectors, dowsing and LRL machines would be appreciated.
Hope to hear from someone.
Thanks Randy

Hi, Randy, and welcome to TQ! I really like the point in your avatar. A fine specimen!

You mentioned you wanted some info about detectors and dowsing. You are in the right place! As to detectors, what kinds of targets are you looking for? Relics? Nuggets? Coins? Do you have a dollar figure in mind?

Let us know that and we can help steer you in the right direction.

Take a look around and take in the wealth of inforamtion we have available and don't be afraid to ask a question. Tha's what we are here for!
