Hi everyone. Cameron from Michigan here. Just picked up my first detector the other day on a whim - Garret 250 Ace. I recently moved to Ferndale Michigan which has a fair amount of history to it (and limited water which cuts my fishing time way down), thus my decision to pick up this exciting hobby!
Anyhow, I made my first adventure down the street to an old park which dates back to late 1800's based on what I've read. I was limited to about 2 hours due to the on/off storming that has been going on today, but I left very satisfied with my first outing.
My finds: $0.26 in change, a broken belt buckle (no digging required! right on the surface
), half of a key, and the prize (for me) a 1946 wheat penny!
Perhaps not much for some of you veteran folks here, but for me an inspirational find as I assume if I can find one, I'll probably find more!

WELCOME........Ahab8 is right. Do a bit of research and you will hooked. Still see lots of good stuff posted from the parks but the more you find the more you will want to get into the older sites. We all get lucky now and then and stumble upon one but most of the folks that post the best stuff live eat and breath the research. Great start, and again welcome to Tnet.
