New to the world of metal detecting

[Critter]

Hello all

I am new to metal detecting. Does anyone live in the Sacramento, Elk Grove, CA. area? I am getting ready to retire from the Marine Corps and I need a hobby. Being from the Midwest, I have always enjoyed walking my grandpa's field and creek looking for arrowheads so metal detecting seems like fun. I just got a metal detector and I have already found a 2010 quarter, a 1985 nickel and two rusty nails at the local park. I know what you are thinking...... WTH? Don't judge me, I am just starting out so give me a break. LOL! If anyone is in the area and feeling like supporting the troops, this Marine would gladly tag along and learn some tricks of the trade. Anyway I look forward to reading the posts here and maybe I can find some of the cool stuff that I am reading about.

Thank you for your service Doc! I love our Navy Corpsman! We could not do what we do without you Sailors. The one thing I don't want to find while metal detecting is the "Silver Bullet"! You know what I am talking about. I don't think anyone else will. LOL!
