yes, a buddy would be good for you - being a beginner TH-er, and all.
You chose the best machine, so now learn all about it..., read and re-read the owner's manual.
Guess before digging, see if you got the thing figured out or not.
Ask for permission to dig on private land.
Good Luck and Happy Hunting!

Welcome from San Jose, CA! Read the owners manual front to back then dig everything for the first couple of weeks. It will help you learn the tones (good and bad). Happy hunting!

Welcome from Oklahoma. Like everyone said, read your manual, go have fun. I carried my AT manual, the first few hunts, while I learned the machine. Dig everything. Not only will you learn your machine, you’ll sleep well at night. lol
