First day detecting and I found a few things.

First day detecting.
I live on a farm alongside a colonial road in central Virginia. The rifle brass (30-30 and 22-250) was in the fields, while the shotgun shells and horseshoe were deep in the woods in a little hollow. The penny (2011) and bottle cap were in the yard.

I also found a hot pebble that had me digging in circles.

Oh also I fell in a big holes (a small cavern). Big enough to crawl inside if I were so inclined. No treasure in there though.

Check along that colonial road. Just remember that the road may have changed as homes have come and gone. Welcome to the hobby.

Welcome from central Va. the relics are out there ,keep looking.

 

[oldmxrat]

Welcome to the forum and good luck!

Welcome! It is a good sign that you are digging lots of brass items, bullets, shell casings, bottle caps etc. Lots of amazing finds will sound exactly the same, and give the same VDI. You have to dig the trash is you ever want to find the treasure! Keep going the way you are. Hunt good ground, and those finds are sure to be the first of many amazing finds and the beginning of some incredible adventures.

Welcome and thanks for the post. 👍
That open hole wasn’t a well was it?
How deep was it? Glad you didn’t find out the hard way.
Looking forward to seeing what else you recover. You are in a great state to dig as you know.

Nah, it’s just underground erosion from the creek washing out soil in between the big rocks down in the hollow.

 

[Silvermonkey]

Horse shoes always bring me good luck. Hope they do the same for you . Now get out there and kill it!
