Well Pooh !
Just got back from looking at the AT Pro that Buddy had for sale. I walked away empty handed.
When I get there he doesn't invite me in to see his gear , he brings out the detector on his little dimly lit 3' x 3' deck in the rain. The unit hadn't even been cleaned since it's last use . Now call me anal .. butt... if I'm buying a 6 month old unit for $7 c-notes I would expect it to look like nearly new condition. Just had a bad feeling about how he looked after his gear... if it don't feel right ...walk away , which is what I did.
Plan B is now Plan A ..again. Looks like I'll be making a trip to see Rick at Sweet Dreams, most likely in the Spring. Going to be a long winter, In the meantime I'll start collecting the accessories that I want .

Thanks so much for posting Seatec !
Well it looks like Seatec and I are about to do some business ! We had a great chat on the phone and he's got exactly what I was looking for and in great condition. Making a short pilgrimmage tomorrow ( Fri 21st) , and he has been kind enough to meet me in Truro saving me another 45 minute drive.
Great bunch of folks here ... look foward to meeting some of the group in the upcoming season.
I can't wait.

Thanks Leaf !
Well we still has grass down here in the "Burg" and I've got a nice big back yard, so I'm at least hoping to get in some initial practice. Forecast calls for double digit temps next week so the ground should be soft ! Just going over some of the Garrett training videos online now !

Well Leafs ...I may be in luck !
Apparently this place we rent is about 100 years old. The neighbour had told me some time ago there used to be a barn to the right of the property as well .
To the right of the photo are apples trees that have all grown in , and there is garbage and old glass strewn all through there .
Here's a view from the upper back deck of the house !
Also found this bottle while snoopin' thru the apple trees.

I forgot to tell you, you're not allowed to metal detect by yourself. You need me there to ""help"" you.
Seriously though, you have a fantastic place to learn the hobby. If you need any advice or pointers, just ask. Many of us here on the forum have the same machine as you.

Gee isn't that swell ... that everybody wants to help me find stuff !
Seriously tho , I do appreciate the support and Coinguy I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.
I'm thinking the old barn area will be an interesting search area .
Garrett has a very good 4 part instructional video online as well, which I have watched a few times already.

Was nice to meet you and make a sale, was good for you and me.
It's like having a boat, the best two days is the day you buy it and the day you sell it, so you have another good day left he he.
How was your trip home, was sunny all day here in River John.
