The first time I went hunting was with my better half who, much to my surprise was minutes away from being my fiance. We used a borrowed machine from a friend who "guided" me which area to go in a Kentucky Civil War corn field. After a couple of missed passes I was advised to go back over again. There I got a Strong ping and dug a black hotel hair dryer bag with a small metal tin in it. I thought, hum, some farmer must have dropped it recently. I unraveled the string, upended the tin and my man dropped to his knee and said those magical words to me, will you marry me! I was hooked on both my amazing husband and metal detecting from there forward. Our first machine is the Equinox 800 and I can tell you it's not just for boys!
