About Me

Hi, my name is Mike. I have an old, reliable Bounty Hunter 840 that I started metal detecting with during the '80s. I learned a lot back then and even though I took a break from it for a while, I recently jumped back in. Now, I'm researching new products, meeting new detectorists, and sharing what I know with anyone who's interested in metal detectors. Welcome. Let's start digging!
IMPORTANT: If you came to this site and did not find the information you hoped to find, feel free to drop me a line so I can improve things. I want the content here to be as helpful to us metal detecting hobbyists as possible.
