First Time Ever MD'ing

Got a White's CoinMaster yesterday and headed out to my yard...

Is this a good, bad, typical day?

I would say that's is pretty good for the first time out! If you live in a house that was built before 1960 you may find a silver coin there...Nice digs!

Welcome to T-Net and the Metal Detecting Hobby. You did fine, no gas money spent to make your finds and a great chance to learn what your detector is telling you.

29 cents not bad. practice, practice, practice. Try doing it again I'll bet that you find more. Go slow. I am always doing my yard. Thought I dug every thing down to the last nail and still got a 1963 Canadian penny. Good luck.

I'd take that haul anytime !!! Makes all the pull tabs and nails I've been digging lately look pretty sad.

I think you'll be able to answer your own question on one of those days when you go out and find absolutely nothing but junk!

I'd say you did fantastic!

Just learn all you can about how your detector works and you'll be amazed!

WTG!

Id' say good day...I live in a house that was built as a school in 1861, and was added to in 1881, sold by the county and became a residence in 1900, and added to again in 1927 . A few acres of farmland came with it. It had been abandoned for many years and was wrecked when we got it in '86...I was already an avid detectorists back then. We have lived here almost 30 years and I haven't found one thing on this property! Cellar, wall tear outs, floor tear outs, decades of detecting here and still nothing, DIDDILY FREAKING SQUAT! So I thing your doing fine...good luck going forward!

PS. I forgot, the County records folks say it is considered to be a "contributing member" on and to the Indiana State registry of historic places. And still nothing to dig up in 28 years of detecting...very frustrating.

For your first time out you did just fine. I must warn you, once you start finding some really good stuff you will find this hobby is extremely addicting.
