I'm starting to see why people abandon this hobby. I've been at it for the past 2 months and have found nothing but clad with the exception of 2 wheat pennies. I know I shouldn't expect much for such a short time, but it's getting annoying. Today, for example, I was out for 7 hours. I went to a beach, an old church, another old church (there was too much scrap metal in this yard to make it worthwhile), the largest high school in our county, and two old swimming holes that are no longer used. I came back with about $1.75, mostly in dimes and pennies. The oldest was 1977 I believe. I've been hitting spots like this since I started and am coming up with nothing. I don't usually go to places that were built after 1950 or so, and I'm still getting nothing. My detector isn't the best, and I know this. It's a bounty hunter that I got as a christmas gift about 8 years ago. I've buried coins from my collection as deep as 10" and still been able to find them with no problem, even on edge.
Am I looking in the wrong places? What am I doing wrong?!

). I hadn't seen that drive-in site before, but I'll be sure to check it out tonight. I'm taking my MD out tomorrow all day hopefully, so I'll let you know how I do.
