A student at a local college near me has been hounding me to teach him how to metal detect for the past few weeks, but finding the time has been really tough. Today we met before he heads home and hit a nearby park. I had him use my 705 and taught him the basics of swing, pinpointing, threshold, etc. and he picked up quick.
I told him I would detect along his side and if I got a good hit I would have him come over and dig it, "he's a rookie" I thought to myself, "he's not going to know a good tone from a bad", well did I ever get skunked!
He decided to go along the treeline and gets a whopping 44 on the Xterra at 6" deep, and anyone who uses that machine knows that a screaming 44 is either a silver dollar or a half...he digs and out pops a beauty of a 68' Kennedy Half like the day it was dropped and in killer condition too...I was beside myself. His first hit and it's a half...not even a stinkin' Lincoln..c'mon!!!!
I'm happy for him and as you can imagine he's hooked, another one to add to the crew friends, ha-ha!

No good deed goes unpunished! Awesome start to his MD'ing career though, hope he knows how special lucky he is. 
congrats on a excellent dig!
Good job!
