I have been watching this forum for about 3 weeks since I thought I wanted to get a MD. Found a lot of great info which I think helped me out today, thanks guys!
So the detector arrived sometime today while I was at work. I rushed to the post office ASAP with my little piece of paper that screamed give me my MD now please. Of course there was a line up and I had to wait tapping my toes and fidgeting around like a little boy waiting for his parents to wake up on Christmas lol.
I rushed home pet the dog and began to unwrap my new toy. Lucky for me an 8 year old could put this detector together. So now comes the thought, do I read the manual or jump right into it? After all I've read this forum for 3 weeks I know it all right, not lol. I read the manual and find it doesn't really tell me a lot. Then I look at my watch ouch time for baseball lol no MDing for me yet. By the way we lost our game BOO!
So get home from Baseball and the wife rolls her eyes and gives me a look, in the door and out the door with my MD (kisses for wife for letting me buy it). I go down to the high school lucky for me its right down the road. After a few holes of what I thought were coins nothing, but I kept getting the nice tones which I can tell are good tones it says the same thing same depth 2". But wait my hole is now 8" across and a foot deep, hmmm? Like and good person who wants to do well in the hobby I recover the holes and think this thing is broken. Nope my next 2 dings coins strong coins dinging away. I came home when the flies had just about taken a pint of blood and I couldn't see in the dark. Found $2.10 in clad woot, first time out.
I get home to show my wife my prize, she didn't think I'd find anything. I reach into my black nylon pocket that came with the detector to show her that her man could dig, and guess what nothing was there they fell out while I was busy chasing a pull tab ouch. Well that did it I was mad my first finds gone lost, I grab my flash light and brave the mosquitoes again. Lucky for me After a little bit of luck and a bit of profane language I find the next place I dug by the bleachers of the football Field and find my finds few. My wife thinks I'm crazy now lol![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")

Here they are a 1996 Canadian 2$ coin and oddly enough an American 1965 Dine(By the way I'm Canadian lol thats why it was odd).
