Just keep practicing, you'll find more as you learn what your detector is telling you.

If you hunt trashy areas, the smaller sniper coil might be good a accessory for you to have.

Keep it up! All finds are fun, some are worth more than others. The more you swing your coil and dig targets, the better you will get.

Good luck and Happy hunting!

If you haven't done so already, put out (or better yet, have someone else put out) some target coins of varying denominations, a silver or gold ring, a gum wrapper, and, then, you attempt to tell what they are with the detector. All the while, be taking mental notes as to what each sounds like and how it looks to the machine (if that machine has a VDI of some sort....I think it does). You can also experiment with your machine's settings, i.e. discrimination, sensitivity, to see how they impact your targets. Don't forget to add something else to the works, like a penny close to a quarter, or, a pull tab by a dime, or, a nail by a nickel, etc. These little practice sessions will go a long way in giving you a heads up on things in the field. Of course, the only way to be 100% sure about any target is to dig it up. ;D

Roland is so right about learning different objects.
Detecting is like learning the piano. With practice, you will master your detector like a fine music instrument.
The more you study it, the better you will be. The difference?...practice with the detector is so much more fun.
And even though you are not a maestro with your detector, you could still unearth a masterpiece that would awe this crowd.
