I would say that the most important thing when you first start MDing is to read the user manual for your machine and practice so you can learn your machine.
You can have a really cool machine, but if you don't pay attention to what the manufacturer explains in the user's manual / DVD, you may be missing out on how to maximize your hunting potential.

Be patient and enjoy the entire experience - don't get so focused on having to find the oldest, most rare, or most exciting find. They will come with time - relax and have fun!
 (At least this is what I have to remind myself over and over and over when I start getting like this little guy -->  )

Patience, ask permission, never give up and hunt for the right reasons , not greed or self asteem, have fun and try and connect with the last person to hold the object you've just found .
 I think it gives you a feeling of satisfaction to find something lost so long ago and give it the respect it deserves.

Quarter.
Dime. Nickle. Penny. Gold ring. Silver ring. Iron nail. Grab one each of the above items. Throw em' on the ground one by one, and practice sweeping them with your new detector. This was the single most important thing I did. . . up until I did it, by Ace250 was just a bunch of beeps and blurps.
