My first detector!
I just received my first metal detector, a Cibola, set it up and went out to the back yard and WOOT I dug up my first finds.....six rusty nails
 . I am still really messing with it trying to get used to it. I am putting all kinds of different coins, objects and junk in the ground to test out the detector. It was kind of funny I was actually excited to find a nail...but that was short lived after the 5th one. haha My house has only been here 15 years and was an almond orchard before that...I can't wait to hit some other areas! Talk to you all soon.
