Newbie in West Georgia

[boyplayswithdirt]

Hello,
I am a newbie to the metal detecting hobby being introduced to it by my lovely fiance. I bought her first metal detector for Christmas and she wanted me to join her in her new found hobby. I also enjoy geo caching as well. I just love the thrill of the hunt. I will be getting my metal detector soon and I can't wait for our first hunt!

Welcome to a great hobby! Take your time and get to know your machine and what it tells you.
And remember to fill in your holes neatly!

Do you have any tips on keeping the grass in tact in grassy areas. I think the best motto is leave no trace the same as when camping.

 

[Beavertail]

Get a good digging tool. Use it to cut out a round plug in the grass. I carry a towel and put my dirt on it so when I fill in the hole there is no evidence I was ever there. If you keep it neat you can keep coming back. That's how I look at it. Good luck and if you need someone to hunt with I'm not far from you so your welcome to hunt with me anytime.

Hello from Tennessee,and Welcome to the site.

Although,Geocaching is fun, I know, But MD'ing is funner ...

I was able to do my first hunt and only thing I detected was a few can tabs and a twist tie. But the most valuable actually found us when an older gentleman drove up with a smile on his face and talked with us sharing some info of places that might yield to us better prospects.
