I'm Nick A. and I am a metal detector hobbyist or "detectorist" in Central Ohio. I have been metal detecting since getting my first "real" metal detector, a White's Classic II, in 1990, and currently use the Minelab E-Trac detector. I am predominantly a "coinshooter" looking for old coins to add to my collection. I mostly metal detect at old parks and schools, but enjoy detecting at old homes when I have the opportunity.
Here you'll find stories of my experiences metal detecting, opinions, advice and questions answered. For those looking for Ohio Metal Detecting magazine, the print version is no longer published.
