Hello I got my first metal detector to day and started looking in the back yard as soon as I got home. First dig got a quarter. My wife loves it and my 7 year old daughter found a ring she was running around and dancing she was so happy.
We did all of this in the dark but managed to get .68 cents, a ring, and 2 pull tabs. I have been reading for a few days on detecting and everyone talked about pull tabs.. I now understand.....
I went cheep on my detector. I got a harbor freight 9 setting unit. I know it not a whites or garret but I didn't want to spend a bunch and not like it.. To its credit this thing seems to do its job for what I played for it. I also got one of those small hand held units to check the pile and hole as I dig. They both work well so far.
Next will be a much better unit and this harbor freight unit will be loner. I can't wait to go to a better spot and see what I can find. I will post if I find anything good.
