Totally new, how'd I do? First day hunting

I'm new to treasurenet and metal detecting so hello!

Here's my first outing hunt list:

Found a seemingly modern silver pendant 4grams
1977 quarter
A bullet casing, 38 spl
A .45 cal bullet
A few 30 year old pennies
An old brass flat button
A shitload of junk

I really enjoyed it thoroughly, still confused by reading that detector. Just as a reference this was an old military base I searched, with permission.

Any advise moving forward?

Congratulations! Keep looking and you may find the entrance to the underground bunker where they did genetic experiments with the alien greys.

Wow, thanks for the welcome and comments gents. I've read a ton about searching and use, stories, and killer finds, but actually going out and pounding the dirt put a lot in prospective. I must say that theory is useful but nothing like getting out there, which proved difficult to my first attempt. It really helped that you all mentioned that it wasn't a bad first day.

Good hunting!

as said, a camera to upload pics is essential!

keep at it - I for one, am only too aware of beginners luck!

this site is full of helpful and knowledgeable people, so feel free to ask their advice (I would have been lost without them all!) - you could not be in better company!
