Gotta start somewhere. They get better the longer you keep at it. You will accidentally run into good stuff.

Welcome to TNet, and a hobby that you will enjoy the rest of your life. It's great that you and your wife enjoy it together! My first "major" find was Indian Head cent. It remains one of the most special pieces I have in my collection. Best of luck to you in the future.

Also, if you hoard enough Lead (by-product of detecting beaches) you can sell it for scrap. I scrap mine from the fields every 5 years, & it will surprise you.

Just remember, the next target might be "THE TARGET" that sends your heart racing. What a wonderful addiction, congrats to the both of you. Good times, good company, whet else can you ask for.
