Hi guys! Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome to the forum! I have been wanting to get a second post together but couldn't stop hunting long enough! I finally took some time tonight to get it together. My husband and I have been doing a ton of hunting lately. He has been very patient in teaching me all of his knowledge and boy has it been paying off - well for me anyway. Here are my finds to date ( about a month)
5 silvers
17 wheats
3 Indians
A gas token, a number of mining tags, 3 fake rings, some bullets - including a 3 ringer I just found tonight! I also found a watch fob and a pewter bracelet. There are a few other miscellaneous things in there too. I have so many stories about hunting over the last month, it would take me so long to tell them all. There was a day we hunted for 8 hours. Swinging the etrac for that long is no easy task.
My favorite story is my first silver dime. We were hunting an old field and I got a good silver hit. I dug down and the dime popped out. I was so excited I called my husband to come take a look. After a few photos, I was brushing the dirt back into the hole and a silver quarter was sitting right there! I was so surprised.
I will hopefully be back soon with lots more to post! Thanks guys!

The best thing is when you have a patient teacher like you have, the learning curve is cut drastically and this means more and faster exciting finds on your part. And we get to see the results. My wife is very hooked on detecting like you are now and this makes my detecting even more enjoyable as I am sure your husband's is the same. Awesome month's worth of finds, congrats
