I grew up in a house built around 1939
I almost gave up after first year and getting almost nothing
after 1976 thaw - I started hitting my yard and digging everything
and learning the sounds of each signal - I was lucky that my yard
held lots of finds - old coins (got my first large cent - property was old farm before neighborhood was
built) but got jewlry and relics too - kept me going and 76 was a good year
been awesome ever since - keep at it
have no pics from first 20 yrs - this stuff mostly from last 25 yrs http://www.flickr.com/photos/casper-1/
Great stuff...!
Just keep practicing and more practicing...!
I am now into my second month with the Simplex, so I understand,
however, you must EXPECT a huge difference in the amount of JUNK, versus treasure...!
A fact of life, your folks never told you...!

Good job! As you get more experienced you'll want to go back and re-search the areas you started in, there's probably good stuff you will have missed. Even using a different detector will give you finds you missed.
