No lie! We got his first detector in June, this was his first time out with it. I could not believe it! Lol. He's had me out in 90 degree weather ever since.
I started when I was 12 too - in 1975
I don't have pics of stuff from back then - here is one of my albums with some of my finds from mostly last 10 yrs Flickr: casperther's Photostream
Awesome find for a first time out! My first find was a bottle cap and maybe 23 cents (clad). Took me a few tries to get my first silver (a ring). Don't give up, but don't let the fever get to you, either, Colby! Takes patience and persistence.
