Metal Detecting lingo?

[Pork King]

New to metal detecting, new to these forums. Could somebody point me to a glossary?
HH?
Clad?
Indians?
What does it all mean?

HH= Happy Hunting
Clad= Common currency, such as modern day quarters, dimes, etc
Indians= Normally Indian head cents, 1859-1909 I believe, but a few also refer to buffalo nickels(1913-1938 I believe) as Indians also.

I am sure someone more experienced can explain further if I missed something. I am fairly new also and it takes a bit to learn everything.

Unfortunately / fortunately, there is no set lingo for detecting.
in many cases it all depends on who is using the term.
So your best bet is, if someone mentions a word , & your confused ask.
If someone gives you crap for asking, report them, and I'll give them crap for
giving you crap

oh "Crap" can be a metal detecting term too short for scrap,
or more polite then $&^%

that's funny as $&^% / crap ?
