Drive by leads to home site....and future hunting partner.

So after work today I decided to drive through a small residential area looking for a park or church or whatever may lead to a good spot to hunt for a while. Im driving by this old house and theres a guy kneeling in the lawn with what I thought was a weedwaker at first, I do a double take and I see him digging a hole and its not a weedwaker but a MD! so I back up, put it in park and walk over to the guy. Seems he had his machine for a little over a month, right away we hit it off. I first asked if he knew of any places to hunt because im driving around looking, he says, "well your welcome to join me, im new at this and could use a few pointers" he had a low end machine like we all had when we were beginners, I helped him out with his settings, checked some of his targets for quality and depth. He actually found his first wheats because of me and it was nice to know I could help. We mostly shot the bull during the short hunt, he had other obligations to attend to, but in the hour I spent there I did find a 1902 injun, a 1968 play dime and a 44 wheat, so sometime soon you may see a new member joining the board because I think he`s been bitten by the treasure bug.
enjoy,

THANKS FOR SHARING THE WISDOM!

We were all new to this hobby once. If I remember correctly, there wasn't too many people around to share their knowledge or to lend a hand when I was starting out . Help was far and few between. Hope the new guy shows up here and we all can help him.

Yeah, it felt good helping him out, gave him some good pointers, sweeping speed, good places to search, and of course....code of ethics. Also gave him some good ideas whare to look on the internet for info, this site was one, also gave him kellyco so he could request some price guides for other equipment. when we were hunting he says " wow, I could do this all day"...lol, I said yeah i know the feeling.
