Default Hello from Northern Minnesota!

Just received a new metal detector from my wife as a gift. I have been interested in metal detecting for some time but have not pursued it until now. There are some old rail road grades in the area, as well as some old government WPA camp sites, logging camps, and many campgrounds to explore and I am excited to get started. I have a lot of questions as you might guess and I hope I am at the right place to get the answers.
