You could start with the Members Contribution for Beginners Guide in the "ABOUT THIS FORUM" section that could give you a start, and then let your personal expriences guide you or their Questions. Just a suggestion to get you started. Trapper May your detector always find the good stuff!
I've only owned a md for about 2 yrs, I dont get out as much as I'd like to but thats on me, however, almost everything I've learned on how to md properly I've leaned from reading the posts on tnet. If there was someone offering a hands on class around here, I would sign up. Posts and videos are great but someone showing you personally a better way to dig a hit, or swing your md or even where to look would be great. I know this doesn't help with your outline request but I just had to express my support for the idea. I think I do pretty good as far as digging goes but I for all I know I could be one of those that Spooky was hollerin about (I read your post Spooky), but just don't know anybetter.
