Hello Everyone,As some of you may know I'm fairly new to this forum and to the whole md'ing hobby,on sunday night I was able to borrow a detector from a guy i met until Wednesday so i had 3 days to use it as much as possible before I needed to return it back.I'm happy to report that i actually had an amazingly fun time (i know this hobby is for me now!!),call it beginners luck but i have some things to show you,lemme say i did find a ton of junk cans,tabs,foil,and even a kitchen sink 
.Yet after all that i remained diligent and kept at it.When i saw my first ever detected penny drop into the hole I could not stop smiling and thinking of what could come next<<thats the addiction,after that i found another 
15 minutes after that i found my 1st silver claw ring(value
robably worthless but to me PRICELESS).That definitely got my mind swimming,my blood flowing,with no cure for this addiction only to dig more,now the rundown of my first ever md'ing finds in 3 days.(it gets better)
(1) sac. gold dollar coin
(1) 1950 wheat penny
(1each)hood ornament,matchbox car,boyscout neckerchief emblem,and a key
(clad)$5.30 total
(2)unknown tokens/coins(pedal power champ from The Energy Center)
(2) silver rings
(1) 18" silver necklace 925 Italy
~~pics are below~~
May i just say that it doesn't top some of the great finds i have seen here,but for 3 days and never used a detector before in my life I had such an awesome time and i hope my luck will continue,maybe in time I will find some of those great old coins you all are getting.TY for looking HH and stay safe

Actually it's being able to put that coil in the right spot is what counts and it sounds like you picked a really good site to start. Congratulations and welcome to the disease known as metal detecting. There is no known cure, to get out to the local dealer and get a detector for your own darn self. Excellent! Monty
,but what i can say is DIG EVERYTHING and listen to the tones.I found more bottle caps,tabs,and crushed cans yet when ever i heard it beep i dug it anyway to see what it was and i kept saying to myself "Hey self dig it you never know".NOTE: I seriously detected hard core for 3 days,anyplace I could go within reason I went bugs,mosquito's,heat nor tabs could of detoured me on my mission to produce.(carry extra batteries<<this is a must)when the batteries died I was happy i had backups,I admit I do feel pretty lucky finding the things that i did on my first three outings just hope it will continue.Yet thanks to asking questions and too everyone here I believe it got me started out on the right foot the info in these posts and others knowledge of the hobby are so invaluable.
