Hello all from Ohio! I am relatively new to detecting, I have wanted a detector since I was a kid and have had the privilege of using my uncles a couple times in the late 90's. Well, 20 years later I finally got one to call my own (Bounty Hunter "Quick Silver"). Seems to be a good detector for a beginner and have already unearthed some cool things in the last couple days since my purchase, at least for me anyway haha. Including a couple flat buttons, a "hot rock" (is it a meteorite? I am gonna look into the Sticky posted by Glennz momentarily), a silver ring, a wristwatch (minus the straps), a brass money clip WITH NAME INSCRIPTION! and some unidentified farm finds that I just posted pictures of in the "Help To I.D. My Finds" section.

So here's my hello to all and I look forward to sharing my finds and hearing and seeing yours! Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Here's a quick pic of the majority of my finds so far (minus the beloved aluminum siding and can-slaw)

Welcome from the Garden State
You save your pull tabs?

Thank you all for the warm welcome. No joee5, I will not keep my pull tabs, I just took a picture of everything I've found so far. But that helps bring up a question that I've been pondering all day, what does everyone do with their "junk" finds/iron, pull tabs, etc? Every few months I take my aluminum cans to a metal recycler for a little extra $ (and have started a separate pile for my can-slaw) but iron scrap is way down the last several months, and I'm wondering if I should just start a pile and turn it in once I get a good amount or not even waste my time...
Please respond with your comments and suggestions, I'd really like to know!!

Thanks for making yourself known, I enjoy just as much knowing there are other Ohio hunters on here! With this humidity the last couple days, I've been experimenting with night-hunting and I must say it is quite fun!! Time to go out for round #2 :signals:
 
Welcome from Hawaii. You mentioned a meteorite. If it has a fusion crust (looks like it's been blowtorched) and/or thumbprints (dents in the rock looks like it was a piece of clay you pressed your thumb into). Then very possibility it's a meteorite
