Additional Comments: (Note: Do not mention your race, marital status, etc… Limit comments to digging, detecting, magnet fishing!): I am new into this as of October, 2020 and am learning and researching a lot. I have watched hundreds of youtube videos to help decide on the equipment needed. I do more bottle digging then anything else, only because of transportation. I have done metal detecting a lot but can't get out as often as I would like, again transportation issues. You can contact or text me at (912) 255-1128 I have no problem helping with expenses. I am a retired Deputy Sheriff and am available to detect or dig almost anytime.
