New guy from New Jersey, needs help with Garrett g-500

[Wcpedorc]

Hi, I have been hoping to acquire a metal detector for about 20 years, and today it happened. I don't know much at all about the hobby, so I am eager to learn. My interest is mainly civil war, but I would be happy finding anything. I have a Garrett g-500 which I know nothing about that I got at an auction, I also have a second one missing the pole piece, if any one knows where to get a cheap replacement. Any help or suggestions on my detector or the hobby in gereal are awesome, thanks.

Welcome fellow NJ MD'er, I new to the forum myself. I had a Garrett G500 about 10 yrs. ago, nice machine, but I suggest pratice in your yard, get to knew the different quirks. Did pretty good in parks and ballfields with it, paid for itself in no time.

Good luck and have fun.
