Bounty Hunter Outback
I went into my backyard to test my new bounty hunter outback metal detector, and I found a couple of copper pennies, a little bit of copper wire and a knob off of a cabinet or something like that.

Congrats on your first time out. You found more than I did when I went out my first time.
 
Be sure to hunt around the fireworks stands on the 1st. They have always been money makers for me. Welcome to TN.
 
Nice job! You will get better and then you will be finding the good stuff!!! ;D
 
Very nice to find something first time out. You will have great finds and no finds it's all part of our great hobby. Welcome aboard and good luck out there in the field 8)
 
Welcome to the forum and to a great (but addictive) hobby. Can't wait to see your posts.
 
just don;t tell plehbah about how your wealthy mad old uncle bought rolls of standing liberty quarters fresh from the mint at the bank in the 1920's and buried them all over his farm in 100's of jars -- the farm which you now own and that you found one of those buried jars full of coins with your bounty hunter jr detector on your very first try because it picked up on the lid at 2inches deep. and eveything will be fine --otherwize he'll want to move in with you. :wink: Ivan
 
Sounds like your off on the right foot. Don't get discouraged with all the junk you find, just part of the process..keep on posting your finds
 
I'm a newbie too. Keep looking in your back yard. As you improve, you'll find more stuff. It might be trash, but it's good practice and will bring a smile to your face.
 
Thanks you guys, so far it's horrible MDing because its cold and windy but I think I'll like it.
Yesterday I found my first pulltab at a park, a dime just on top of the ground,and a few zincolns.
 
I'm sure I'll find tons of cents in my yard because I dropped a big bucket of them while trying to clean them. :D
