I am now an "OFFICIAL" MDer

First I need to say thanks for this site. I found it about 5 months ago, became a member about a couple of months ago, and I believe just reading the posts, and the advice from all the members was better than reading my owners manual, or the DvD that came with my detector. I would also like to thank a couple of members who I talked to off line that gave me alot of insight, and personal experiences that made me understand alot. Now to my story...
I was going to purchase a White's XLT, but after reading and talking to several people, I figured I really didnt need that much right now, so I bought a White's PRIZM V on Monday (played hooky from work), had to make up for that by working Tuesday, and today, but left a little early today. Monday, I read my manual twice, watched the DVD twice, so I figured I was ready today. At first I practiced doing some air tests, just listening to the tones, did that for about an hour, then packed up my gear, an old K-Bar with a broken tip for digging, couple of extra batteries, and an old carpenters apron that I had. I live in a fairly new subdivision, but in a really old city, and about a block away is a new grade school. so I thought I would hone my skills there for awhile. walking out of my driveway, I happened to look down and saw a nickle, bent down to pick it up, and it was a 1963, I thought "this must be an omen" and just knew that it would be a good day. Well went to the school, and after digging a few juice caps, poptabs, and a 4in peice of copper tubing, I found my first coin. A 1995 penny. Just your ordinary penny, worth oh about a penny, had to go down about 2 inches for it, but I dont think I would take a $10.00 bill for it. After looking for about 2 more hours, I ended up with several tabs, some wire, and .47 cents (counting my 1963 nickel). I cant WAIT to get out again tomorrow..... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Re: I am now an "OFFICIAL" MDer

Welcome to the forum and to metal detecting. Dig a lot with your detector, and experiment, and research/try a variety of sites. Your chances of success increase as the amount of experience you have with your machine increases, as I believe, at least until you get a very solid grasp on your detector. Good luck, you'll be surprised at how good you'll start to get! HH!
