New to Metal Detecting but having fun so far...

[jentheartist]

Hi - My name is Jennifer and I started metal detecting this year (Christmas really). My brother in VA enjoys the hunt and I wanted to give it a try. I can tell you "try" is the operative word right now... I am not finding anything but trash right now, but I will get the hang of it I am sure.

I live in south east NC on the coast, so there are beaches to explore as well as parks and old building sites. I need to work on my approach to get permission for sites. I am also a photographer and it's much easier for me to ask permission to photograph a place than it is for me to ask if I can MD it

Anyhow, hope to learn some tips and tricks from you all - I'll share what I find out

Thanks

Welcome! I frequently hunt the Atlantic Beach/ Emerald Isle area here in N.C. as it's only a 30 min. drive for me. You're in a good area, don't sweat it, the idea is to have fun! This is a lot like fishing,not every trip do you catch the big one! Keep at it, you'll soon get the hang of it. Good luck, and H.H. mr.b
