Default Very Awesome News

set it up, watched the video, and headed straight for my yard..


but, all i found was like 6 cans, metal nails, junk, trash, garbage!
all of this was from our builders that just burried their trash pretty much!

ganna hit the woods tommorow and see what i can find in there :]

Time and patience will be needed now. The finds will come and they will improve with time. You probably won't find a lot of great things at first but you will as you get to know your detector better.
