Hello Everyone!

[Bill W.]

I figure I might as well scare a few people and post a picture of myself... But, I'll at least tell you some things about myself before I scare you all off. I've been metal detecting since 98-99. I started with a BH101... I've had quite a few machines since then. I now own a Minelab Explorer and a Fisher CZ-3D. I trimmed down my detectors last year to just those two. I plan on getting a F75 at some point here. I'm not much of a clad hunter. I love find oldies. My oldest and favorite find is a 1786 Connecticut Copper. My other interest is astrophotography. If you're interested you can see my images at the link below. Nice meeting everyone! One thing I should note about my size that you can't tell from the image... I am almost 6' 5" so all of my detectors are extended to their full length. I'm also not dressed in the image to impress but to detect...

Welcome to Treasure Quest, Bill. Glad to see others here also interested in the hobby of astronomy and especially astrophotography. I have a Meade LX200 8" Classic. I checked out your website, you have some great photos of your astrophotographs. Keep up the great work!

[Bill W.]

FinalLastDays thanks for the welcome! I'm glad you wrote a message about your interest in astronomy. I was beginning to think that I was the only one that loves both detecting & astronomy. I like the challenges of both hobbies. With both hobbies you can get better by paying attention to the small details. Have a good one!

Thanks for the link Boobie! You guys are making me feel better. I was beginning to think I was the only one that had the detecting/astronomy bug. My wife calls me a geek because of the interest I have. I tell her that I'm the baddest geek she'll ever meet...
