[supermon221]

hello im 100% new to this hobby im 20 years old and i always wanted to try and i think my fiance is going to get me a metal detector my Christmas, i seen her amazon cart with a bounty hunter IV !! super excited but completely lost at the same time i live down in Ruskin, Florida near Tampa Bay and not sure where to start i understand i should try in my backyard with some coins and nails to get a feel for the different sounds, but i would like to know where do i go from there, where can i go to find relics, where there any native americans near by any civil war camps or battles i tried looking up local history and i pretty much found nothing and i hate going to the beach i always get sun burned and would like to know of any native america trails or anything cool like an old fort to go and look for stuff i just cant seem to find anything online, and is there any advice for me before i start. thank you =D
