First hunt EVER, for both of us!

[Hendo0601]

So today fellow member Timmune and I went out on our first real hunts. I had poked around my front yard, and for a few minutes at a local park but nothing serious. We went to a spot that I thought would be good, and boy was it! I found 2 .925 silver rings, a 1946 plain wheat penny, a bicentennial Kennedy Half, a .22 hollowpoint round, about 3 bucks worth of clad and 40 billion pull tabs. Timmune didn't hit on any silver today but he found a bunch of clad and equally as many pulltabs. It was really great to finally get out there and use my detector (Bounty Hunter Quicksilver) and learn all the different sounds it makes for different targets, learn how to pinpoint better, and learn the merits of having a Garrett Pro Pointer! Man that thing reallllly speeds up my recovery times. Today was a day of firsts! My first real hunt, my first silver, my first ring(s), my first wheat penny, my first half dollar, and my first bullet! Man what a great hunt!

As soon as I can figure out how to post photos I will!

Congrats on getting a great start to the hobby! As you gain experience w/ the tector during the day, evenings do your research, and also learn to post pics to show off your finds,...HH!

I am not sure if I did this correctly or not, but here are some pictures of my finds from yesterday's hunt!! The back of the wheat penny is pretty hammered, and the Kennedy Half is about as clean as I want to get it. Those two silver rings though...WOW silver sure looks great coming out of the ground!! The smaller woman's ring is pretty bent up, but I am sure with a little time and patience I can get it back into shape. The men's ring is pretty cool because the center part of the band actually spins around. I haven't seen a ring like that before. Thanks for looking, and thanks for all of the kind words!

Looks like you have been bitten like the rest of us. Congrats on the nice finds!

Congrats on a great hunt and welcome to the addiction. I won't hunt without my pro pointer!

You need to get in at least 100 hours to understand the detector. After you use it a couple times go back and reread the manual. Also watch U-tube videos of your detector. Good luck and Happy Hunting

That's great advice! Don't get complacent and think you've got it all figured out. You can always learn and it's important to refresh yourself with the basics now and then
