Hello, my names Chris. From, Manchester, NH. I'm new, never been metal detecting or gold panning before. But I have been dreaming of it. The only treasure I've found were wheat pennies from 1909-1958. Which was stolen, and now only have a 1941 and 1956 wheat penny. If anyone is from the Manchester, NH area and would be willing to teach me the basics, I would greatly appreciate it. I always wanted to go mining for diamonds when I did a tour in Afganistan, but it just wasn't safe enough to go walking about by myself, lol.
