Hello all,

Just started getting into metal detecting even though I've had my detector for about 18 months. Even got the kids and wife excited about it. Love coins, but I'm a complete noob in coin (and relic) hunting, but apparently I'm a natural born expert in rusty bottlecap hunting. /sigh

Thanks to all of you for contributing here so beginners like me have a place to read, chat and get great information.
