Welcome to the board...
My tip... Research and patience....
Go where the coins are and don't expect to find something every second.
The place I hunt I average a coin every 10 minutes, but I also dig my fair share of trash...
Luck also has a place in it.... My first day out I pulled a silver quarter. 3 months later and I only have a total of 5 silver coins...
Get to know your detector and what it is telling you. Oh and get a Pin Pointer... Even a Harbor Freight $16.99 special is better than nothing. http://www.harborfreight.com/metal-detector-97245.html
Cheers!

thanks for the tips. not really sure how to go about researching. i have checked the internet for info on my area of the state with little or no success. i did swing my detector at the fair grounds and found over two dollars in clad. not bad for a new guy.
