Western Nevada, Just beginning

I kinda got interested into MD while on a recent Elk hunt, here in Nevada. Found a Silver coin purse partially exposed from the ground. There wasn't any of the cloth left, but it got me thinking, so I dug around for a bit, by hand No Luck. So when I got back home I did a lot of research on the area and was pleasantly surprised to what I was reading.

Bought a BH3300. I'm going to get a feel for it at home before running off to the other find. I don't want to try and learn in an area that I know will produce for me.

Welcome to the tnet forum.The Discovery 3300 is an easy machine to learn.It shouldn't tale you an hour to get a basic handle on it.I wish you luck and let us know what you find out there.Sounds interesting,i'd like to know of there is any coins (or anything else)lying nearby where the coinpurse was found.Keep us posted.PS- if you have any questions or problems with the 3300,go to the BH section and read some of the posts concerning this particular machine.Or post your problem or question and me or someone on here will be glad to help you out. :)

Welcome to the forum and hobby Nevada. That sounds like a great plan you have. You get to learn your machine plus after a few days of digging holes you will begin to get better and better at the holes. Once you fell comfortable with the holes and a bit with the detector I would go to some schoolgrounds etc. and get a little familiar with trasy areas with good coin potential.

Best of luck,
