Oh, he's been around, but he hangs out on a metal detecting forum more, and both of us are on a local gun forum. I spend quite a bit of time here on Beemaster and tell him to look at this or read that, I'm his information collector
Actually Greg is the one who wanted to become a beekeeper, something I'd always wanted to do but didn't have anyone to do it with. His uncle was a founding member of a local bee club and he used to help his uncle work the bees when he was younger. Yes, he is definitely my new and improved!

May I ask which metal detecting forum & his user name ? I'm also into metal detecting
& hang out on treasurenet . Same user name as here .
