old timer

I can call myself "old timer" due to age and time behind a wiggle-stick! Been detecting for 20 some years and still enjoy it. Only these 71 yr. old knees are protesting. Started out with a old Garrett and than a White. Both found a great varity of items. Nothing great, expensive, or earthshaking, but I collected memories that can't be beat. Holding something from the past still grabs me, and it doesn't have to be a CW item (down here in Ga. that is about all anyones digs for). For you newbies to the game, keep your head down and your ears open. Something is out there just for you.

Good to meet you. Hope you have many more years behind the wiggle stick.

Hey, thanks for the returns. It's great to talk to folks who can carry a conversation, not like those chat room people. If you know what I mean. No-brainers! Have I told you all about meeting a cannibal while hunting in Memphis? No? You will be able to read about it in S.Ga. new book when it comes out. If any of you good folks would like to contribute a story, he would enjoy hearing from you.
