Well, I showed my modest yet fun finds after my first day ever metal detecting, http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=28349
A few things I've learned:
Have a towel! Your hands and digging tool WILL get very dirty. Good to have an old towel hanging from your back pocket.
Professional kneepads would help. I think I will be buying a pair soon.
Heading to tot lots as soon as possible. Hunted my friends yard which has a big play area. Found all my first clad in that area.
There ARE sharp things in the ground so be careful! (my first find, an old rusty wire that was sharp at both ends/ no, I didn't get stuck but I can see how it could easily have happened).
For me at least, a pinpointer is a MUST and I am going to be ordering one ASAP!
Last but not least, digging a hole and leaving it like I found it is harder than you think!
Just a couple of things I ,as a newbie, has learned my first day and looking forward to learning alot more.
