Dear Whites:

My name is Chris L. and I am 19 years old. I recently went on a detecting trip with my grandfather in Florida about a week ago. I have never been metal detecting and always thought it was kinda dorky but decided it was a free trip to Florida to lay out on the beach for a week. Well my grandfather asked me to go with him continuously so one day I gave in and he handed me an XLT made by you all. He was detecting in the water and I stayed on the shore. Well after I dug some bottle caps and loose change for about 40 minutes my view about metal detecting really changed. I found a coin covered in sand and didn't think much about it. When we got back to the room I rinsed it off and to my surprise it was a 1797 Half Reale. My grandfather just gave me his XLT and he's going to buy another one.

Thanks Whites,
detecting truly is a fun hobby.
