Brand new to metal detecting from Newton, NC

[beez0404]

Howdy everyone!

I just purchased (this past weekend) my first metal detector at a yard sale. I was so excited to get out there and find something, anything at all, but didn't have a chance till yesterday. So I braved the upper 30 degree temp and mid teens wind and off I went. I was able to stand the weather for about 1 1/2 hours during which I found 18 aluminum cans and 1 chunk of metal with a hole for a bolt in it. So basically I came home with a bag of trash. On a positive note things can only get better right?

The metal detector I bought did not come with instructions so honestly I really have no idea how to do anything other then turn it on. But at least it does beep when I go over metal which is a good thing right?

I live in Newton, NC. If anyone lives nearby and would entertain spending a little time with an old fart helping me learn a little about my detector that would be wonderful. My name is Jay and I would love to hear from you.

Welcome from Birmingham, Alabama and happy hunting to you. The first step is to find metal objects and then you can work on finding the metal objects that you like. Be sure to share your cool finds as well as the things that you learn.

Welcome from (thawing) Missouri! Keep hunting. Like me, you may not get rich, but at least the trash will get put away
