Nj noob seeking guidance, and help.

[Wcpedorc]

I just got a metal detector Monday, I have been looking to get into this for 15 years. I have a huge interest in finding anything the more variety the better. Someday I hope to travel and hunt some cw sites, but I need to learn the skills first, so any help with sites, or hunts that I could join would be great. I am in Union County. I work at a church as the youth director, and I work summers at a camp. I do have some free time. Please help me get into this hobby and prove to my wife that the auction purchase of the metal detector wasn't a waste of money, thanks.

Suggest you join a local Treasure Hunting/Metal Detector's Club; read your machine's instruction book thoroughly and practice, practice, practice--first in 'controlled environments' (where you put different coins on the ground--after first determining there is nothing in that area) and listening to your machine give you different signals as you pass over different objects.)
I'll PM you with another thought.
