After being diagnosed with P.T.S.D. and the DR telling me I need a hobby, And to lose some weight! to to get control of high blood pressure and bad cholesterol. This 59 year old fellow was not sure what to do. Tried bike riding, boring, Tried fishing, welp, Tried the gym, nay. Then I met Ray Mills out here in California. I took his two day class, Yes finally! Found my hobby. Started detecting in January of this year 2022. The beginning was pretty rough, out of shape, breathing hard.I could not even come close to keeping up with Ray that is 10 plus years older than me. But as the days weeks and months fly by I started to notice a change and so did others around me. my mental outlook was improving, Lost weight, blood pressure and bad cholesterol was getting better. Well after hundreds of hours behind the 7000, Watching many hours of 7000 Youtube videos, And making a few friend along the way that helped perfect my skills. Logan White. Hats off to him. Another great teacher. I have managed to pull over 3 ounces of nuggets out to date, I'm hoping for four by the end of the year. My biggest was a ounce and one quarter. WOW! Welcome to the one ounce club! Thank you Minelab for the superior product to help keep driving me forward to learn and perfect my new hobby.
