New To Detecting ( First Finds This Weekend)

gixxer007 · May 19, 2019

Well I bought the Equinox 800 brand new and this is my first time ever detecting.
So I got my nox a couple weeks ago and this weekend was my first time both getting to use it and also even metal detecting lol.

Have just been playing around and trying to get use to it in my back yard. Since I can not really judge the nox vs any other detector, I must say this is one great machine! I am loving it every min and can not wait to take her out into some areas I always said I wanted to try and detect one day.

Sure not much of any value but so enjoyed digging each one of the. I even got one silver that was my third target I ever dug. I can’t wait to find some more silver that is for sure.
I didn’t show all the trash I dug up which was a lot also lol.

Any advice on how to clean these all up would be great ?

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

That’s a good start. I’ll give you the same advice I got.
-It's a numbers game. The more you dig the more you find.
-Dig everything.
- you have to dig 300 pull tabs to find one gold ring.
- where knee pads
- check your hole twice
- start a test garden
- Wear sunscreen
Am I missing anything guys?
Keep up the good work!
Oh one more thing...lemon juice and what ever you do...DON’T dry rub, Or the metal detecting gods will strike you down.
Kidding of course we all do it.

Check for ticks!

Congratulations on a great first hunt and welcome to the hobby! My advice; get both a handheld pin pointer and a T handle shovel. You’ll retrieve targets much faster with this tools and will therefore be more inclined to dig those questionable targets.
