Slow low even swings after you get the proper settings on your detector. Do not get in a hurry. That one deep, faint signal may just be a treasure. Best of luck Mr. Newbie.:occasion14:

New to Blairsville Georgia Area and to detecting in general. Anyone in this area willing to give a few pointers as to where to get started ?
Welcome aboard. Really nice area up there. I have family in Morganton. Best of luck. Look through the list of Forums and I'm sure you'll find some that are a big help. There are forums for just about every make detector and how to set them up, every kind of location, and be sure you don't miss the GA forum.

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 !
