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!

Awesome finds, especially on your first hunt.

It's funny how that works. I found a ring on my first hunt in like, 10-15 minutes which made me think this was easy .
But like anything, there are good days and not so good days, but never any bad days because this hobby is so much fun.

Keep it up.

BTW, it took me about a month or more to post pics. It's way easier than you think. If you have or know any kids, get them to show you. That's what I did and now I'm an old pro. It took about 4 minutes.

Congrats, keep swinging and happy hunting. May your ring be the first of many, many more.
