Welcome to the forum !
This is a great hobby, lots of fun, highly portable if you travel, and it also comes with a never ending learning curve.
(1) Spend as much time in the field with your machine as possible and things will start to fall in place.
(2) Make a list of everyone you know - family members, friends, co-workers, etc.
If their house is more that 75 years old or so - try to get permission to hunt their yards.
(3) Fill your holes - remove all the trash - if you leave a site cleaner than when you got there you'll be welcome back.
Good Hunting !
