Quick Intro: New to the Whites Forum

[TigerNed]

Hello Friends,

After 3 1/2 years of no metal detecting, land or water, and just having Major Surgery on my lower lumbar, I've decided to give it a go again. I'm new to this forum, because I just purchased my first detector in some time and it's my first ever Whites Detector. I just purchased the Whites Classic IDX w/ stock coil and a second coil, the whites 8 inch coil.

I had 5 disc removed from my spin w/instrumentation and fusion added. I also had the bone removed from the face of the main spinal nerve, from L-1 to L-5 area. I feel much stronger after 3 months of recovery and I'm learning to deal with the little bit of pain that will be with me forever, due to some nerve damage that can't be repaired.

I do feel strong enough to take on some detecting, even if just to get out of the house and enjoy the day at the park or some old colonial era farm stead.....

Water detecting will have to hold on for now.

Some of you may remember me, Tiger Ned, well I'm back....LOL I hope to rekindle some old friendships and share my stories and finds with all here. If your wondering, I was always a Tesoro user in the past, and I also owned the Minelab Explorer II...........I'm excited about this detector though, and really looking forward to spending many a days learning it and enjoying it.

Sincerely,
Tiger Ned

PS: Hope my buddy George in CT. is still around these parts. We talk on the phone still, and he's been a great support to me thru all these past hard years. That's what detecting partners do I guess....Thanks George, your a dear friend.

I'm betting you will like the Whites as well as the others you have owned. Let me know when you get some free time. I have the water units are charge now to make my last sweep of the waters I usually hunt this coming week. The rest of the water hunting will be after storms. You know where we need to hunt with that new Whites down this way.

I looked or you Thursday and Friday on the new ride. Your repaired back might not like a big diet of that. I know mine didn't. You have the phone number. I assume your free time is while David is in school so we can work around that and still have you back in plenty of time. Good to see you back online. I figured you might be in here if it had came in the mail. Very addictive hobby. One enjoyable day and your hooked again. Nice to have someone to hunt with again also.

Good hunting.....

There he is...LOL

Hey George,

I have the new ride and the IDX is on the way.....I'll be getting in touch with you next week sometime. David is back to school then, and it will be easier for me to take a ride out then and spend some time with you. Should cost me a whole $3.50 to come visit you and back home now. Instead of the $20.00 plus bucks it had gotten to....Sweet !..... Tell Jane to get the coffee pot out, and some of them dam good muffins she likes to feed me.....Hell, we may not leave the kitchen table on day one...LOL
