I am very new to this but went out earlier and found my first wheat penny! May not sound like much but it is a great start for me! I've only went out 4 times detecting and I enjoy it greatly!

Wheaties are great! Love finding them. Anything pre 1965 is good in my book. what kind of shape is it in and do you have any pics?

Not at the moment it isn't exactly in the greatest shape. I was told never to even attempt to clean a coin but it's a 1952 D if I seen correctly. I'm new to all this but really enjoy it so far!

I started out at age 12 - so when I got wheats - it was great
knew I was in an older spot - then I found my 1st buffalo
then first silver - which was a 1964 quarter
that was 37 yrs ago
Just keeps getting better and better
good luck

That is a great start and if you find a wheat penny you know there's gotta be silver nearby.

Finish it up then after it rains go back over it, you should notice that a wet ground will let you find some deeper targets, Also if you have a jewelry mode on your detector try using that as well.

So a damp ground is better to detect on? Awesome it's raining right now so I hope it keeps going until tomorrow! Thanks for the tip!!
