Congratulations Chris!! There's nothing like finding that first old coin.My first was an 1864 Indian,a week later I broke into the 1700's with a 1797 Draped bust large cent.Remember,on old sites dig everything that registers good.A good friend of mind passed up a loud signal figuring it was a clad,well I dug it and it turned out to be a 1787 Fugio cent!!Good Luck in your future hunts!
