Newbie - First time out in back yard 1955D Wheatie

[nealb]

I bought myself a Discovery 1100 over a year ago, and have just now found time to get out and use it. Bought a 2nd one 2 months ago so I can have my dad go hunt with me this year. I finally got out today, right after a thunderstorm and hunted my backyard. Found this 1955D Wheatie about 2 inches down. Dug a lot of aluminum as well, but got some good practice in at cutting plugs. This forum has been tremendous at providing me knowledge on use, techniques, and ways to research. I'm going out tomorrow with my dad to my great uncles place which was built in 1915. Hoping to find some interesting items

Congrats & welcome!!

Be careful about MD'g, it is VERY addicting!

I usually MD every day, but since broke my big toe, it's been "only 1 week" of no md'g - really serious withdrawls!
