GNRS Detector:
Biography:
I bought my first detector a White’s Coinmaster 2900/D in 1986. I really got serious detecting in 1998 when I bought my XLT. I was very fortunate to spend the majority of my 22 year career in the Navy in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. My oldest coin is a 1799 Spanish Real plus I also found a cut piece of Spanish coin dating from around 1735. I have found hundreds of Civil War relics including a Virginia and a Connecticut State seal button and a few CS buttons. I located a previously undetected civil war campsite in Chesapeake, Virginia and found 57 dropped minie balls in one hole. I currently use the MXT and I look forward to meeting all of the great people on the Depot and helping Team White’s win the trophy at next year’s GNRS!
